Yeah I know it's easy to get the package, what I'm referring to is that the
average user might find it too cumbersome to do, as you have to now;
install the package, find and pick a codex out of a list of many which
you don't know anything about, manually edit the config files for yasr,
pick a TTS server, configure that manually and so on.

So I thought maybe I could write a script that automates these steps
provide a link to it it the handbook or something?

I'm by no means an expert user or anything, I've been messing with Linux
mostly
and picked up FreeBSD as an experiment and for fun. Any comment or -
suggestions would be welcomed, I am most definitely a noob.
