Hi, I downloaded my image from Debian's site by clicking on Download Debian 7.2 (32/64-bit PC Network installer) link. There is an installation menu available allowing you to choose between 32 & 64-bit installation. You can press the tab key to move to boot prompt where you can input your parameters. I am doing my installation using a Braille display and activating speakup at first boot up. Best, Pawel. -----Original Message----- From: Speakup [mailto:speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scott D.

Subject: Re: Debian installation with a hardware synth for speakup Hi, Your input line has typo perhaps. In the documentation for speakup apollo is spelled with a lower case first letter a. Your line, as typed in the email, uses a capital lett a in apollo. I have just finished installing Debian 7 with speech from their site using the "small cd". It does not come up to a boot prompt where you can type what you want. Are you using the "small cd" from Debian? Or perhaps something different.
