Installing speakup with software speech

[Sina Bahram]

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for the points. So I'm stuck installing it either with visual
assistance or via telnet/ssh and then getting software speech via including
them as modules?

I suppose I could install via telnet or ssh...i've just never done that
before. But there's no chance of hardware speech; however, I really want to
use Speakup.

Take care,
Sina

Hi
	Do you mean installing FC2 with software speech? If so, right now 
you can't. I'm not sure how feasible this would be, either. I don't see 
much problem getting things like speech dispatcher and flite onto the CD, 
but I'm not sure how early FC2 detects the soundcard. I know it detects 
the monitor and video card right at the beginning (figures, right?) but 
I'm not sure where sound is activated. I've been thinking about this 
lately myself, as it sure would help people with no serial ports. FC2 may 
be the only distro it is feasible with at all, since distros like 
slackware don't even include sound modules on their installation 
disks--not sure about debian or gentoo, though.
HTH
P.S. That isn't speakup 1.5 in FC2--it's a fairly new CVS speakup. I think 
the only distro to still include speakup 1.5 is slackware.
