I got a clean lenny system using speakup and ran tasksel and
selected 
desktop environment.  At least 10 packages failed to install
due to 
errors.  Okay no problem because my next step was to remove
gdm and all 
dependencies.  It was recommended I use startx and then run
orca and all 
would be fine.  Fortunately I had sighted assistance to help
today.  My 
help ran startx and told me all came up normally.  My help
ran orca 
--setup and the computer remained mute.  We got everything
set up in orca 
and exited and found alsa-base package was still on the
computer so I ran 
alsaconf again.  I got an amixer error and later couldn't
get sound 
working at all.  This little exercise killed off my sound
system and I 
don't know how to get it back to life other than to wipe
everything off 
the system and do another fresh install.  I'm going to do
the fresh 
install to get multimedia back but I can't justify doing
anything more 
with orca on debian because it's just too messy getting any
accessibility 
working at all.
