Funny you mention problems with the Debian floppies. I did briefly attempt to use the floppies and couldn't get them to speak on boot either. I noticed it didn't really give any errors on the screen according to my wife, but nor did it come up speaking with the normal linux speakup_synth=synthname. I thought perhaps I had some bad floppy images and I hadn't had time to dig into this further. Perhaps there is a problem with the images?
