Re: [orca-list] Recommendation of Linux for Windows and Mac switchers

Hello,
Here are the ways I know of installing debian:
* The standard debian installer CD has speakup on it, you must use one 
of the speakup kernel options to start speakup. This requires a hardware 
synthesiser.
* I think Samuel created a debian installer CD for debian which 
contained espeakup so allowing the user to install with speakup and 
software speech output.
* Look at GRML http://www.grml.org and do a debootstrap or use the grml 
helper script grml-debootstrap http://grml.org/grml-debootstrap/. 
Remember when doing this to install something to allow you access to the 
newly installed system, eg. speakup and espeakup.
