default speakup for Debian Sarge

[Charles Hallenbeck]

I am putting Debian Sarge on a new system here, and am starting with the 
"speakup26" boot choice, which installs a speakup modified 2.6.8 kernel 
initially. But on my system, the mark/cut/paste feature locks up the 
computer requiring a hard reset to recover. Pressing 'mark' works fine, 
but moving the cursor to the other end of the desired string and 
pressing 'cut' kills the system. 

Actually I don't know exactly what gets killed, but there is no more 
speech, and the keyboard is unresponsive. 

Has anyone else performed this installation? Was your experience the 
same or different? I plan to replace 2.6.8 with 2.6.11 pretty quickly, 
but if there is a quick fix to tide me over I would appreciate knowing 
about it.

Thanks,
Chuck
