looking to build a speech app for installing windows.
let me know your input.
on how to get this project working, using the speakup model, and
implementing for windows.

I sent the message below to the  program-l list but I wanted to make sure
you got it. Plus I thought of something to add... JAWS for DOS is
available  free for download from their web site. I think this would allow
you to make a CD that would boot DOS and speak via JAWS. So you might not
have to use linux.
