amazing espeak install

[Jude DaShiell]

I used espeak-squeeze-i386.iso to install espeak on an amd kathelon k8 
machine.  The installation was successful and when the system boots up the 
sound card speaks all kinds of failure messages and a message about acpi 
conflict but boots up and runs notwithstanding all of that.  There's 
exceptions thrown too and I went with the default kernel choice.  I can 
provide my dmesg.log file but will put that on my website if anyone would 
like to look at the details.  Some additional notes.  The reason for 
inability to find internet sites from which to install the base system on 
this kind of hardware is that dns connections get brought up or at least 
this system thinks they have been brought up but this system is thinking 
connections are up prematurely.  If a test like ping google.com could be 
run by the install program and checked for packet loss until packet loss 
no longer occurs these problems would all disappear permanently.  I 
discovered this because when the base system failed to install I ended up 
back on the main menu and tried running the install base system choice 
again and the second try from the main menu worked perfectly.  The disk 
did not beep as it was being booted, so I waited until the cd sounded like 
it had stopped to key in my expert boot parameter and the system accepted 
that parameter.  What's so amazing about this installation is when I boot 
the system I get to hear my sound card tell me installation of espeakup 
has failed yet it still speaks.  All of that having been written this has 
been a good and valuable piece of work.
