Well what I did was simple. I installed ubuntu from the 6.10 CD, then went to a terminal and updated it. Then I did: apt-get install speech-dispatcher apt-get install speechd-up apt-get install espeak Uncommented the "addmodule "espeak-generic"" line in my speechd.conf file, went into the modules directory and changed the synch line to use "espeak" instead of "speak", then did: modprobe speakup_sftsyn speech-dispatcher -d speechd-up -d I put those above 3 lines in a start-speakup script along with some configuration stuff which I did by echoing numbers to /proc/speakup/Various_files. Then I set orca to use speakup. I also put: speakup_sftsyn in /etc/modules (at the bottom).
