Newbie questions about Speakup and debian?

[Arthur Pirika]

Hi there, If your running debian 3.1 (sarge), a much better sollution is aptitude... this tracks much better with speakup than dselect does.
As for good debian faqs, just take a look at the documentation section of debian.org... there's also a package you can install (doc-debian, I think?)

hth,
Arthur

I run it and I get to the point where it looks like I'm supposed to be able to choose packages; However, if I arrow around, Speakup doesn't seem to track.  All it says is "description" after each press of any arrow key.  Am I missing something basic here?
