Re: Newbie, Emacspeak and Espeak

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

So far as I now know, neither slackware nor archlinux include the 
emacspeak-config script in their distributions of emacspeak.  The only 
version of Linux that does this to my knowledge is Debian.  I can set up 
emacspeak on Debian with no problem and have it talking on the sound card 
but without that script don't know how to make that happen on the other 
mentioned systems yet.
