Ok, I got sighted assistance and I now have a Debian Lenny machine up and
running.
But we couldn't install "espeakup".
No such package...
I told him to install openssh-server and I am now logged in trying to figure
out to setup Speakup on a standard Debian stable (Lenny).
I have only installed the base system + openssh-server.
If I do a aptitude search speakup I get several speakup-modules* packages.
I think I have used Speakup with lenny before but can't remember how I did
it.
How can I get Speakup up and running on my newly install box?
