Along with what Greg gave, you might want to know that if you use the Orca software synth, and you begin the install, it will quit talking once it gets to the disk partitioner. The way around this is to not start the install that is on the desktop, but to go to a terminal, and login as administrator by doing: sudo su Then you unload Orca with insert + Q You will have to tab to quit and press enter. Then you reload orca as such: "orca --no -setup --disable main-window&" Then it may not speak while you are typing, but type in the following: "ubiquity" and press enter, and you will get an accessible install, including the partitioner.

You can find some install notes with orca and ubuntu at: http://live.gnome.org/Orca/UbuntuHardy There's also: http://www.ubuntu.com of course. Current versions of ubuntu don't come with speakup, I don't know about the rest of the text console screen review programs. Hth.
