I actaully have Debian 4.0 modified cd with speakup, but I had troubles installing Debian when I tried. Think I didn't understand how to partition it with the installer. I'm used to cfdisk. And I have an external synth, the ltlk, so I can use that with the install for speech output. Could you walk me through doing a Debian install so I can get Linux on my laptop?
