If so, could it be replace? Though I'm not lucky enough to = have a braille display for my Linux box, I often wish I did. If the = proposed change would indeed eliminate that choice, than I'd certainly = recommend against it: I doubt the improvement either in speech or = shrinkage would warrant it. I'm sorry if my comments here are way off = the mark, but it seems best to raise the question. Thanks!

Ok, thanks. >> Disclaimer: I can't promise anything regarding adding espeak.

When I'm removing libflite1, besides flite and eflite also brltty-flite and speech-dispatcher will disappear. This would bring me >15MB of disk space whereas espeak needs only 1200kB at total, so definitely appreciated from my side. But I've to take a look at espeak and its configuration first of all. Any help and feedback regarding espeak's configuration on grml is highly welcome. -mika- --=20 ,'"`. http://www.michael-prokop.at/ ( grml.org -=BB Linux Live-CD for texttool-users and sysadmins `._,' http://www.grml.org/ _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup --=20 No virus found in this incoming message.
