Unfortunately, I'm very new to Debian so I don't know the internals of
package management or installers yet.  I installed Debian with Speakup
so that part was completely accessible with my serial Speakout
synthesiser.  But I realize many folks are trying to use a GUI
installer with software speech and that's where the trouble comes for
many distros.

I know Debian has a "graphical" install; in fact, that is the route
suggested by speakup developers to do a base install of Debian.  But
that does not use gnome so Ora can't be used this early on in the
process.

I don't know anything about a Debian live CD but would love to learn
more about it and how we might be able to customize it.  It sounds
like you  have ventured into this area a bit.  As for the Debian
specifics here, I would be glad to write privately as well; just refer
to my private address at top of this message.
