Yes, I realized that the livecd wouldn't support software speech. Software |
9 |
speech is a post-install goal. That's why I used the external DecTalk |
10 |
express for the install. I've got a different system with the internal |
11 |
Dectalk card. I'm going to try the same steps tonight without the dectalk |
12 |
or speech to see if the networking code works in the absence of both. If |
13 |
so, once I get the stage 1 tarball on disk I can try applying the |
14 |
motherboard manufacturers linux drivers for the Intel hardware. If that |
15 |
goes well, then at least the post-install system will be usable. It will |
16 |
also allow me to post a proposed solution along with a bug report. I just |
17 |
don't see this as a speakup problem, although there may be some sort of |
18 |
interaction there (unproven assumption which is probably wrong in the first |
19 |
place). |

As an alternative, I could disable the on-board ethernet and use a PCI |
22 |
network card (i've got several laying around). I was just trying to avoid |
23 |
popping the case. That's the main reason I was using the external USB drive |
24 |
bay. BTW, the drive was recognized beautifully. |

More to follow. |

Thanks, |
