Hi their. As far as I know, the installer does support Speakup out of the box. I can't confirm this, but apparently you're supposed to press tab before typing the commands to get speakup talking. As a side note, I did download an installation immage for Speakup, but I have a Dectalk Express whereas you apparently have a Speakout synth. Not even sure if they're manufactured anymore, but they're good synths nevertheless. Getting back to you're point, I could not get the Dectalk express to come up talking with any of the immages, but this might be related to another issues. --Erik On Thu, 9 Oct 2008, Steve Holmes wrote: > Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2008 16:40:10 -0700 > From: Steve Holmes <steve at holmesgrown.com> > Reply-To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. > <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> > To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca > Subject: New Debian Install - HELP! > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: RIPEMD160 > > I just downloaded two recent install CD's for Debian Lenny; one from > June of this year (Beta 2) and a testing image dated today Oct 9th.
