Installing wheezy netinst with speakup; has this changed recently?

Hi Samuel: firstly speakup is working on the full dvd, so in the end I 
was able to use that, and updated from the net; our mirror is broken 
right now.
Yes I could go into a secondary shell on the netinst and modprobe 
speakup_soft, then espeak, and sound came up.
However it would appear that we were running the graphical installer, as 
going back to alt+f1 showed the usual messages when X starts.
I'm out shortly, but will boot into that installer and issue the alsa 
commands and just flick them through shortly.

I must have been redirected, for the iso was located at
http://hammurabi.acc.umu.se/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta4/amd64/iso-cd/debian-wheezy-DI-b4-amd64-netinst.iso


Cheers, thanks for the help; yes it should work.
Marcel
