help with install of debian and speakup!?

[BlindTech of BlindTechs.Net]

I run debian on a pentiium 66 mhz with 32ram. it is a great distro  
and very simple to install, I installed it over ftp and its simple.  
it again, as I stress, if you don't truely understand the technical  
aspect of it, takes allot of reading. for example, I'm having a hell  
of a time installing fedora, but i read, and read and read and keep  
trouble shoting. I just don't think ty understands how boot up works  
in general, hint, why he doesn't understand why he is getting an  
error msg ffrom the bios advising him that there is no os to boot on  
his hdd and he should either boot up off a cd, floppy or some other  
bootable device.
