Yes, my doubletalk worked during installation. Some of the machines I have been working on do not have sound cards. I just took a wildass guess as to how to get the hardware synth working during the install. I figured if you pressed s for speech, you might press g for graphical install. Then I pressed tab and entered my speakup parms, "speakup.synth=ltlk". I may have gotten lucky but it worked. install.
