Help with running Speakup on Kali Linux

[Timothy Breitenfeldt]

Hi, i recently installed Kali onto an old laptop. I would really like
to just run Kali in console mode and completely ignore the GUI .To do
this, I know I need speakup. I found a couple refferences in the
archives for this mailing list, but I couldn't get it to work with the
instructions given. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get
speakup running on Kali, as well as how to switch from Gnome desktop
to just a console?

Thanks,
