OK, I had a couple things set up incorrectly in sources.list, but there's a whole 'nuther story behind why, which I'll not bore you all with, but suffice it to say my system is set up correctly but still not talking, probably because I don't know the proper way to make that happen. Re bug reporting, I'm exhausting all possibilities first before putting down what's not working to a bug because with me, it usually isn't. I've found a few in my time, but am always hesitant to report something as such in case I'm the one having done something wrong. However, this one's apparently a valid Debian bug, so after I get it solved, I will put it in. On Thu, 31 Dec 2015 08:10:41 -0500, you wrote: >Oh that's bizarre.

The install was assisted by Speakup, which I started at the install screen main menu by pressing s<ENTER>. I was quite impressed with the way it all worked, with one silly exception: There was a screen with 78 choices, one per line, and I couldn't figure out how to scroll the screen backward to read the first and second screens of choices, so I just went with the default choice, which turned out to be the correct one for me for the question being asked. Very impressive. No Orca, no forms, just straight CLI. I love CLI. >> >>Now then, the system is up and running, there's no desktop, I boot directly to the login prompt, and now I want to get Speakup working on the console terminals. Someone named Samuel from Debian accessibility told me I should install the espeakup package, but apt-get can't find it. What'd I do wrong? And why would I even need to be doing this since obviously Speakup is included in the install, you'd think, or at least I did, that it would already exist on the system and be able to be run. >> >>Thanks in advance for any and all assistance and advice. >>_______________________________________________ >>Speakup mailing list >>Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >>http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup >> >>_______________________________________________ >>Speakup mailing list >>Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >>http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup >_______________________________________________ >Speakup mailing list >Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
