Hi Michael and everyone, The best speakup-enabled Debian installer that I've seen so far is at: http://people.debian.org/~shane/netinst-speakup/ Thanks Shane! The CD image that I got there was from January 27/05. Boot with the CD, when the disk stops spinning type: speakup speakup_synth=<your synth> and it installs everything you want from the net. Hope this helps, Debian is a great OS. --terry On Wed, Mar 02, 2005 at 10:13:46AM -0000, Michael Whapples wrote: > Hello, > I need some help getting Debian sarge installed.
