I have sighted colleagues who never once have to use a monitor hooked up to the target machine during a gentoo install, and only use ssh to accomplish this, and I've done the same.

Subject: Re: gentoo dropping speakup support Hello, I would like to formally state that I disapprove of this removal. It is only thanks to Speakup being included in the default kernel that we are able to perform unassisted installations of Gentoo at all. This seems as if it would be a great step backwards. Might I suggest that we attempt to contact the Speakup mailing list and developers for information on this issue? Thank you, Zachary Kline. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Hubbs" To: Sent: Sunday, June 17, 2007 1:00 PM Subject: gentoo dropping speakup support > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > All, > > because of this bug [1], gentoo linux will be dropping support for speakup > in its official kernels starting at 2.6.22. > > [1] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177794 > > Is there any possibility at all that speakup could be moved into user > space as the bug suggests?
