Debian installation with a hardware synth for speakup

[Scott D. Henning]

Hi,

OK. Sounds like you have this dialed. What does network install mean? Is 
that the install that downloads all the packages after the core is 
installed from CD or USB? That sounds like the install I have done over 
the last few days. All is well, except speakup does not work when 
returning to the console after Gnome loads. Oddly, it did work on the 
first install. I did the install a second time to use a different drive 
and experiment with RAID. I did only the console for the second try to 
speed the download up. Speakup worked there, but on a third install to 
abandon RAID because I really did not understand the choices and when I 
disconnected the primary drive the machine did not boot, so I concluded 
I did not know enough to make RAID work. Then a fourth install, again 
speakup worked until the reboot and until Gnome loaded. It is also 
impossible to stop speakup with the number pad enter key during any 
consequent boot, despite speakup responding to this during install. I 
see more study in my future. Smile. And I planning to try my accent 
hardware synth, too.

Let us know how your proceed, the posts here have helped bme begin to 
untangle Linux.

Scott
