I have just uploaded the instructions for using the virtual edition in both
text and audio format to the website in the documents section.
The direct links are: http://vinux.org.uk/docs/Vinux_1.31_Virtual_Edition.ogg
and http://vinux.org.uk/docs/Vinux_1.31_Virtual_Edition.txt
Hope they are of some use to you!

I think with the Mac you can use parallels workstation to run virtual OS's,
but there may well be a VMware or VirtualBox version for the Mac already - I
am not sure. drbongo

I think Ald0 used festival to create the text files, which uses 16k
voices,
but I think the eflite voice is only 8k, at least it sounds that
way. drbongo

To start yasr you can either type 'yasr' into a terminal in a Gnome
session,
or you can type 'textonly' at the boot prompt, login and then type
'yasr' if
you want a pure console session.

can yu use all synths with yasr and if speech dispatcher isn't
configured, then how is someone able to use yasr out of the box?

No not yet, it is another thing I would like to include, but it is
not easy
to use if you are a beginner, so it is not high on the priority
list
at the
moment. drbongo

It will use eflite by default which is the emacspeak version of
festival, although it supports other software and hardware
synthesisers, look in /etc/yasr/yasr.conf for a full list of
supported
synths. drbongo

when you start yasr, will it use e speak first or festival?

Yasr is configured to work straight away, I have enabled the key
echo
so you will hear what you type and what is displayed. It will run
in
a terminal or in a console session, although I find the voice
quality
and volume very poor.
But as an emergency option it is useful to have.

o ok. and when you launch yasr, will it work straight away or
will
you have to configure it? i'm talking about the live cd.

Yes I hope so, Vinux is still quite new and we are adding new
features with every release. Speakup is definitely on the
wishlist
it is just a question of priorities, and as Vinux is aimed at
beginners it was not one of our first priorities as we wanted to
get
all the basics working first. In the next edition we will be
providing an audio signal when the boot prompt is ready,
cheatcodes
for serial braille displays and a few other fixes/ features.
