Just installed debian testing from snapshot cd of 27th July. I got speech throughout the install and all seemed to go well. When booting for the first time after the install, I got no speech. I believe the system is booting correctly, as I can shut it down with the halt command after logging in as root. I am using hardware speech with an apollo. So, anything I can try to get it talking and any one else had this issue. When I get chance, will get someone to look for error messages but if I can get it talking in the mean time, that would be good. Thanks Keith
