installing ubuntu with speech

[MICHAEL WEAVER]

Thanks for the suggestion Florian.
I thought the running of Ubuntu as Live was a problem because of lack of 
memory but as I managed to get Edgy working on the laptop after it was 
installed from the Alternate CD and as a newby to Linux and Ubuntu I 
couldn't be sure if it was the problem.
Hope my Compaq Presario 140 has the capacity or whatever for a memory 
upgrade. I didn't know if laptops were a problem as regards memory upgrades.
Probably also need to do the same thing with my desktop which has 
something like possibly 247 MB I think as I get a similar problem 
although I seemed to be able to run terminal and W3m text web browser 
using the test version for Feisty although this might be because Espeak 
uses less resources than Festival which has been the default synthesiser 
in Edgy and previous versions of Ubuntu.
