Hello all,

we (Oliver Buechel & me) 're currently making a speech enabled soundcard
based Linux system. So since we're at it I can as well offer some help
here. I've got no clue about BRLTTY yet, but being a long time Debian
user, I might help some with the Debian boot disk. If you, Nicolas, would
give me some examples (the stuff to make Slackware and RH work) I'd give
it a try to integrate it into a Debian boot.
