Hi Jacob, Thanks for the points. So I'm stuck installing it either with visual assistance or via telnet/ssh and then getting software speech via including them as modules? I suppose I could install via telnet or ssh...i've just never done that before. But there's no chance of hardware speech; however, I really want to use Speakup.

Subject: Re: Installing speakup with software speech Hi Do you mean installing FC2 with software speech? If so, right now you can't. I'm not sure how feasible this would be, either. I don't see much problem getting things like speech dispatcher and flite onto the CD, but I'm not sure how early FC2 detects the soundcard. I know it detects the monitor and video card right at the beginning (figures, right?) but I'm not sure where sound is activated. I've been thinking about this lately myself, as it sure would help people with no serial ports. FC2 may be the only distro it is feasible with at all, since distros like slackware don't even include sound modules on their installation disks--not sure about debian or gentoo, though. HTH P.S. That isn't speakup 1.5 in FC2--it's a fairly new CVS speakup. I think the only distro to still include speakup 1.5 is slackware.
