Hi, If using a text mode interface, I like using VI as the editor, Mutt as the MUA, TRN as the newsreader, and Lynx as the browser. This information may be somewhat outdated, however, as I last used a text interface proper back in 2000. Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Sean McMahon Sent: 20 April 2005 19:11 To: Farhan; Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.

To use speakup in Debian with a 2.6 kernel, you will need to build the kernel yourself. There aren't any official Debian 2.6 kernel packages with speakup. I usually install with the 2.4 speakup kernel and build my 2.6 kernel as soon as the install finishes. Hope this helps.

What I wanted to do is to use the Speakup install disk and then use the Debian install disks to get the majority of packages, and update when I have got things a little better? I have a very slow net connection and thus updating the packages via the net is not feasible until June when I get a faster connection. > > Also, if I get a Sarge DVD and do a install with the 2.6 OS, is it easy to then integrate Speakup into that or should I just stick with the 2.4 OS on the Debian Speakup CD? > > Thanks. > Andrew. > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
