It says it can be got at http://releases.ubuntu.com/edgy and to select the desktop CD as others don't work. Also I think these are the standard distribution CD's but someone who actually knows would be best to confirm this. > That's correct. It's all on the standard CD (as the the kernel with speakup as a module). > I am going to try that brltty suggestion on my desktop, out of interest does that version of brltty have USB support, or do I need to dig out the serial cable? If USB support exists, ubuntu is definitely working around this issue of laptops without serial ports, but it would be nice some time to have other options with something such as speakup, as it is sometimes useful to have the boot information. > This needs some work to be more user-friendly for the next version.
