What if I, for instance, reburn Redhat's CD, but instead of their kernel put the Speakup-powered one? This means I could have a Speaking installation CD of Redhat, right? Now, in the boot part of CD installation, one could implement a LILO which could speak through the serial port and have the entries for all known to SPeakup synthesizers. After users choose the ones they need, LILO would load necessary kernel. Do you think, such a scheme would work?
