I use slackware. This does need either a braille display or a hardware

patch, it doesn't require you to compile your kernel, some distros
(eg. slackware (www.slackware.com) or grml (www.grml.org)) come with
kernels with speakup already compiled in. As an extra note about GRML,
although it uses speakup on the CD, you don't need a hardware synth to
use it as it comes with all the software for using speakup with a
software synth.
 
Another alternative if you have access to more than one computer is to
do a remote install via telnet, ssh or even a serial console. I don't
know too much about these options as I am fortunate enough to have
both a hardware synth and a braille display.

        Hi folks,
         
        I am seriously considering Ubuntu, but I know that a number of
        you are using distros tha  are not Ubuntu. Can i ask how do
        you install these without speech. I know some of you also
        create your own kernals - advanced stuff for me smile, but how
        is the done?
         
        Thanks
         
        James
