Is speakup available in the GTK d-i from a usb-booted install?

["Terry D. Cudney" <terry.cudney@gmail.com>]

Hello,

	Thanks to your great work, speakup is available in the GTK D-I from a CD. It works nicely...

	However, I have not had success in my attempts to get speakup talking during an installation booted from a usb-flashdrive. The system boots and the installer is there on screen (my sighted son verified this), but there is no speech. In fact, the initial menu which one sees from a CD D-I boot does not appear. Rather, the system boots from the usb-drive and immediately displays the installer menu: choose language, country, keyboard, etc. There is no delay where one might enter a <tab> and the speakup.synth= parameter.

	I have tried mini.iso and debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso from the GTK directory (Oct10 daily build) on a usb-drive with two partitions, the first with syslinux, syslinux.cfg, initrd.gz and vmliuz, both from the GTK daily build.

	Any pointers will be much appreciated,

	--terry
