Re: installing debian with vmware work station speech stops part way threw the installation

["K0LNY ??" <glenn@ervin.email>]

Although it does not seem to be the case here, I'll mention again that when 
speech, or more specifically, audio, be sure to switch back to the host and 
bring up the menus in VmWare and where it shows connected devices, like the 
com ports and such, make sure the audio is still checked.
It sometimes gets disconnected for me in a VM session once in a while.
control alt takes you out of the guest session, and control G puts you back 
into it.

This sounds like the same issue that has been bugging me for over a year 
now, where espeak stops speaking, without crashing. It seems to happen only 
in virtual machines.
