I don't understand your questions about linux on a removable hard 
disk.   You need to explain what you want to do there in order for me to 
know how to tell you to proceed.

When you install linux, it should detect your sound card and configure the 
proper sound drivers. There are people on this list who know more about 
installing fedora than I do. There is something called speakup that allows 
you to install fedora if you have a hardware speech synthesizer. You can 
probably just google that.

I still install linux via what is called a "serial console". If you have 
another machine that already has speech on it, what you can do is connect 
them via a special cable called a null-modem cable. Then you run a terminal 
emulator on the
machine that has speech and install linux that way. There is plenty of 
documentation on the web about how to do that too.
