Hi, my apologies for not being clear in my last post. I am using Kali because I want to learn about the security tools Kali has. I will keep in mind that arch is a better option for this though. The output of locate speakup.ko /lib/modules/4.12.0-kali1-amd66/kernel/drivers/staging/speakup /speakup.ko For now, I am just looking to get eSpeak working on it, my goal is to install voxin, which is what I am using for orca right now. Kali does have built in support for a talking installer using speakup. I believe Kali is very similar to Debian, if that helps at all.
