Installing linux using speakup?

[Sean McMahon]

Yes you can use your external synth to install speakup.  No you can not
currently use it with gnome and gnopernicus.  Someone here on this list got
their external synth hosed by gnopernicus because the program was expecting a
braille display on the serial port.  The default speech for gnome is festival.

What about a double talk lt?  I have access to a double talk external.
Can I use this as a speech synth to get speech during the installation
of linux?  I eventually want to experiment with gnome.  Does it matter
which distribution I get that will work with both speak up and gnome and
gnopernicus?

I don't believe you will be able to use the DECTalk PC to install linux
because it needs to be loaded as a module because of its need of having
software loaded at boot time.
