Hi, Going to be installing Debian on an Alpha pws500au at some point in the near future, and hope to eventually get speakup up and running on it. I remember seeing a while back that someone had gotten this to work, but I couldn't find if there was any special modifications that have to be made to speakup itself. Also, what would be the best way to do the installer? I recall from prior experience that debian was a little dificult to get an install going over serial console, I would specify the console= option at boot and output on my atached terminal would stop right before the installer would start. I also want to get an i386 install of debian done to refresh my memory about the distro, what's the best way to do this with speakup these days? I looked in the installer-i386 directory for debian-testing and there doesn't seem to be the access/ directory that used to exist with speakup bootfloppies on it. Is there somewhere else to look for a bootcd or floppies with speakup on them? thanks. -- Never make any mistaeks. -- Anonymous, in a mail discussion about to a kernel bug report
