Hi there, If your running debian 3.1 (sarge), a much better sollution is aptitude... this tracks much better with speakup than dselect does. As for good debian faqs, just take a look at the documentation section of debian.org... there's also a package you can install (doc-debian, I think?) hth, Arthur On Tue, Jul 05, 2005 at 04:44:14PM -0400, Al Puzzuoli wrote: > Hello all, > I have been dabbling in linux for several years but most of my experience has been with the RedHat/Fedora flavors.

I run it and I get to the point where it looks like I'm supposed to be able to choose packages; However, if I arrow around, Speakup doesn't seem to track. All it says is "description" after each press of any arrow key.
