Speakup on Alpha

[Alex Snow]

Hi,

Going to be installing Debian on an Alpha pws500au at some point in the 
near future, and hope to eventually get speakup up and running on it.  I 
remember seeing a while back that someone had gotten this to work, but I 
couldn't find if there was any special modifications that have to be 
made to speakup itself.  Also, what would be the best way to do the 
installer? I recall from prior experience that debian was a little 
dificult to get an install going over serial console, I would specify 
the console= option at boot and output on my atached terminal would stop 
right before the installer would start.  I also want to get an i386 
install of debian done to refresh my memory about the distro, what's the 
best way to do this with speakup these days? I looked in the 
installer-i386 directory for debian-testing and there doesn't seem to be 
the access/ directory that used to exist with speakup bootfloppies on 
it.  Is there somewhere else to look for a bootcd or floppies with 
speakup on them?

thanks.
