Talking Debian install?

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,


I'm trying to repurpose an old Windows 7 box as a Linux box to replace 
my ancient and hopelessly out of date Gentoo system. I downloaded a 
Debian Netinstall image, burned it to a CD, booted it, hit s at the boot 
screen, did the install, rebooted, and…the freshly-installed system 
didn't come up talking. I know it's running because I installed an SSH 
server and I can SSH into it. Apparently Espeakup isn't running for some 
reason. Below are the errors being logged, but I'm so new to the way 
Debian does accessibility, and using software speech on Linux, that I 
have no idea what these mean or how to fix them. I chose Debian because 
I have a VPS running Debian so I'm used to it. Errors pasted below.
