I used wget to download speakup_netinst-3.1r0a-1.iso and speakup_netinst-3.1r0a-1.iso.md5 from http://people.debian.org/~shane/netinst-speakup/ and figured I'd get a good download. According to md5sum -c speakup_netinst-3.1r0a-1.iso though, 576 files were missing. The md5sums on the file downloaded and the iso burned were identical to 65789dbb11dbd80e3d539ae3fff523c5 though so it's possible I've got me a bad copy of md5sum. The end result is that both speakup kernels on the disk speakup and speakup26 do not speak and it appears the disk doesn't run or install anything though it's readable when I try reading the README.speakup file with less on the CD. Is wget less effective than its documentation claims? I used: wget -bq --tries 0 http://people.debian.org/~shane/netinst-speakup/speakup_netinst-3.1r0a-1.iso <cr> to download the iso originally and it came down very quickly on my dsl connection too.
