So that did not go well at all. Here is what I got (transcribed by hand from a picture): Starting speech synthesis, please wait while we probe your sound card(s)... No sound card detected after 3 seconds... No sound card detected after 4 seconds... No sound card detected after 5 seconds... No sound card detected after 6 seconds... No sound card detected after 7 seconds... No sound card detected after 8 seconds... No sound card detected after 9 seconds... No sound card detected after 10 seconds... No sound card detected after 11 seconds... No sound card detected after 12 seconds... No sound card detected after 13 seconds... No sound card detected after 14 seconds... No sound card detected after 15 seconds... No sound card detected after 16 seconds... No sound card detected after 17 seconds... No sound card detected after 18 seconds... No sound card detected after 19 seconds... No sound card detected after 20 seconds... Can not do software speech synthesis... Press enter to continue anyway. I then pressed enter and nothing happened. I waited a couple of minutes and nothing happened. Couldn't switch to any other console, couldn't control-alt-delete. I had to force the machine off by holding the power button. And I couldn't get any log of what it was doing of course. So that seems like quite the fail unfortunately. -- Len Sorensen
