Why not use the speakup-modified knoppix, and you don't need to worry
about any drive space. It is full linux that runs off a cdrom.

Hi, the last time I checked this did not support software speech. Has
this changed? He said he needed software speech support.

Does anybody know if I will soon be able to install a speakup enabled 2.6
kernel from a debian mirror? Right now I can say:
apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.27-speakup
But I need a 2.6.11 or greater kernel. Oh, I should say, I'm using
debian testing. I don't think unstable has a more recent kernel though.
But I haven't checked this week.

Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list.
deb http://people.debian.org/~shane/speakup/kernel ./
Do an apt-get update and then apt-get install
linux-image-2.6.12-1-speakup-686 and you should be good to go. Let the
list know if you have problems with that kernel and be sure to hang on
to your old kernel incase the new one blows up.

It works. It took me a long time to get around to trying it because the
machine I am working on
had no network connection. No driver for the NIC. Anyway, I got that
fixed and gave your suggestion a try.
At first it didn't work.
># apt-get install linux-image-2.6.12-1-speakup-686
....
p-686_2.6.12-1_i386.deb) ...
You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image
(version
2.6.12-1-speakup-686) but you do not seem to have a
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd
command. This will break the installation, unless initrd-tools
are
also being installed right now.
# apt-get install initrd-tools
initrd.tools is already the latest version
# which mkinitrd
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd
Huh? It says it's not there yet it is. Try it again... And again...
Eventually it just worked. I have no idea what funny thing I did to fix it.
Then i had to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst extensively. This is the first time
I've ever made more than single character changes to that file. But no
problems there.
So it's chattering away right now reading the boot messages.
Thanks a lot!

Think you'd still have to build a 2.6.11 speakup-enabled kernel on Debian. The
speakup-enabled debian installer iso has a 2.6 speakup but I don't know what
version of the 2.6 kernel it is or how well it works. You might be able to get
something by doing a search on apt-get.org.

Where can one get this on CDROMl? I'll be using a Dubltalk external

I don't know if the knoppix has been updated since I last updated it. I
have 3.4 I think, and I know that there is a more recent version of
knoppix on available. The thing is, has the speakup-modified version of
knoppix been keept up-to-date.

Hi,
I am looking for a very small linux with speakup in the kernel, supporting
software speech.
All it would need to be capable of, is to serve as a terminal for ssh into
another box.
I might be able to use an nfs mount for most of the storage requirements.
Some speakup-enabled rescue disk might be the answer, but I am not sure
what already exists.
TIA
Willem
