I could not find Knoppix at this website. There is a knoppix cd image up on the www.linux-speakup.org site in the disks directory which is speakup enabled. You will have to burn it to cdr with over burn if your burner supports it because it is an over sized image. When booting the image you want to type at the boot prompt: knoppix 2 speakup_synth=dectlk The two above is to tell knoppix you don't want it to start in 'X' mode.
