Larry, It also occurred to me that perhaps Vinux is not the best choice, if you don't want a GUI environment. As that is the distinction of most distros, is the GUI. I think you can get just Debian core, without a GUI, which is what you would be left with if you removed Gnome Desktop from Vinux. Actually, I'm not sure now if it is Debian or Arch underneath the Gnome Desktop. There is Talking Arch out there, which would give you the CLI if that is what you prefer. One nice thing about a GUI is that it makes connecting to hotspots easy, and it is also easier to find the packages that are already installed.

Hi All: First, I had no easy way of joining a Vinux list, as you must sign in through google groups-and-google won't even send a password reminder, and writing to a contact address at Vinux did no good. It would sure be alot easier-and-`much more helpful if they had a windows executable to run to install, instead of needing to jump through hoops with an iso. To my surprise it let us install Vinux along side windows vista, without nuking a JAWS authorization. So now if I boot Vinux, I get what seems to be a graphical with `horrible speech, probably e-speak. But if I switch to a console, I get no speech. I did purchase Voxen, which I would always rather hear. Unfortunately, the Vinux WIKI does not provide any instructions in configuring or setting up speech. Also, while I don't mind having graphical as an option, I would rather it boot in a TCSH shell with Speakup-and-Voxen. I can supposedly edit whatever files would be required, in Notepad in windows to accomplish these, if some1 will please inform what to edit. This is a 64bit image, for some reason, as a duel boot there are some other test items which I should remove. On the WIKI, it makes refferences to having both Speakup-and-YASR, so please, how do I enable these? Thanks so much in advance Hart _______________________________________________ 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
