Here is what the readme says about starting with speech using the new debian speech enabled cd. In order to enable speech, at the boot prompt, type speakup followed by a space, speakup_synth=xxxxx where xxxxx is the SpeakUp synthesizer code to use. For example, using an Accent SA, the boot line should look like this speakup speakup_synth=ACNTSA As an alternative, a speakup26 boot target is also available which when used will boot a 2.6 speakup kernel for installation. It has been reported that some hardware, especially machines with newer sata controllers require this. Using the example above, an appropriate boot line would be: speakup26 speakup_synth=acntsa -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Thomas Stivers Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 9:56 AM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: Debian netinst CD with speakup -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 On Mon, Jun 20, 2005 at 11:31:28 PM +0800, jaffar at jeffstudio.net wrote: > Hi I don't know if this is an appropriate thread on which to discuss > this > on, but the netinst Cd would not boot and I seem to get no response either > from the CD or when i typed in the speakup command at the boot prompt. I By the speakup command do you mean: linux speakup-synth=xxxx or linux26 speakup_synth=xxxx Where xxxx is the string for your synthesizer. I don't think the kernel itself is named speakup. - -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
