Re: [orca-list] [off topic] help with ArchLinux

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel shellworld net>]

If I had run into that situation with archlinux with the speakup install 
disk, I would first wipe the system.  Then I would start the disk up 
again.  Just after starting, the first command I'd run would be dmesg 
> dmesg.log.  If I could somehow get that file off the machine and to 
another location,  I'd do that and then stop the installation and 
examine the file with grep grep -in "error" dmesg.log | less and take 
note of what came up.  Since the disk won't talk, speech will have been 
attempted on your system so all the errors you're having with speakup 
ought to be in that log file.  I haven't tried it, but maybe floppy 
access or flash drive access might be possible just after the system 
boots up.  If so, there will be your place to store any error logs.  
Just as an ace in the hole for you, however the speakup error squashing 
goes and the speakup mailing list is the proper place for that, I'd do 
script and then run all those commands to install archlinux and just 
before rebooting I'd do exit and save that typescript file to the same 
media with the dmesg.log file on it.  That way you can catch any errors 
happening during installation after boot up too.  Those are proper 
topics for the archlinux list or maybe the support list on 
sonar-project.org.
