Debian netinst CD with speakup

[Jim Grimsby]

Here is  what the readme says about starting with speech using the new
debian speech enabled cd.  
 In order to enable speech, at the boot
prompt, type speakup followed by a space, speakup_synth=xxxxx where
xxxxx is
the SpeakUp synthesizer code to use.  For example, using an Accent SA,
the
boot line should look like this speakup speakup_synth=ACNTSA

As an alternative, a speakup26 boot target is also available which when
used
will boot a 2.6 speakup kernel for installation.  It has been reported
that
some hardware, especially machines with newer sata controllers require
this.
Using the example above, an appropriate boot line would be:
speakup26 speakup_synth=acntsa

I 

By the speakup command  do you mean:

linux speakup-synth=xxxx

or

linux26 speakup_synth=xxxx

Where xxxx is the string for your synthesizer. I don't think the kernel
itself is named speakup.
