Installing linux using speakup?

[Taylor, Carlos Ervin]

Is there only 1 iso file to download for the speakup enabled version of
debian?

Hi Carlos and everyone,

	With the Speakup-enabled Debian CD of Jan 29, 05 the command at
the first prompt (the silent one just after the disk stops spinning) you
type:

	speakup speakup_synth=<whatever synth you have>

 not

	linux speakup_synth=<whatever synth>

as in previous speakup-enabled debian disks.

	This caught me. After I was told that the command is "speakup
speakup_synth=..." the rest  of the installation from the 'net was a
real pleasure to use. Thanks Shane!

	HTH,

	--terry
