Go into a terminal and type:
modprobe speakup.soft
Then type:
espeakup
and see if you get speech.
You could scrap the install and start over, but were I you and did that
I'd get into debian main menu by typing (<) at a prompt that's the less
than sign sift the comma and I would change priority to low by keying
change priority's number then keying in the number on submenu for low.
Then I would key in the number to preserve log files and choose mounted
partition for that and then hit enter on default choice. Then I'd
continue with the installation. The log files are of interest to the
debian-boot email list and a problem you experienced may get discovered
by them and corrected for your hardware that way.

Subject: getting started with debian, suggestions anyone?
Hi all,
I'm looking to get started seriously in debian, although I appear to be
having several problems. First off, my initial hope was to be able to
work exclusivly in the commandline with espeakup, which I understand
should be installed by default when using the accessable installer from
the netinstall. However, after going through the installation, selecting
standard system utilities, ssh server and web server I don't appear to
have speech. I do, however have the console beap after logging in which
suggests to me that the installation was succesfull. I'm half tempted to
scrap this current instance and reinstall, but my question is do any of
you have any combinations from that main installation screen that you
would suggest using?
Thanks much for any help with this.
Cheers,
Daniel
