-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Kenny, or anyone else in the know, do you know of a reliable way to test the whole speech-dispatcher/speechd-up setup before booting into the new system? When playing with installing debian via grml-debootstrap, I found the biggest uncertainty was if the software speech in the new system works or not. As I found out after rebooting, software speech didn't work, there was no data in the logs, and nobody to read the screen for me, so that was the end of that experiment. Yes, I did have a speakup-patched kernel installed, and the system did boot, according to the other logs in /var/log of the new system. So, if one does an install of debian via debootstrap, is there a way to test software speech in the chrooted system, before you actually boot into it?
