-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ty's answer to your question was fairly decent I think. The short answer is that no, the debian install disk doesn't have software speech, you will need a hardware synth to install. The long answer is that you can install debian via debootstrap, install the software speech components, and hope it all works when you reboot into the new system. I've mentioned some of the pitfalls involved here in the past. Greg On Sat, Aug 11, 2007 at 02:53:09AM -0700, Cody Hurst wrote: > That's vague.
