Oops, I didn't mean to send that...

In order to not waste everyone's time, I'll add that I'm toying with the 
idea of creating my own live linux distro.   I thought that instead of 
complaining about other distros dropping support for speakup, I'd just make 
my own. Perhaps I'm not the most qualified person to do this. But I figured 
I'd learn as I went along.

My live CD is supposed to come up talking via speakup & espeak. You can 
download version 0.01 at
http://www.math.wisc.edu/~jheim/nitschke/nitschke-0.01.iso

Note: to su to root, you'll need to enter the root password which is 
'nitschke'.

I've already used this live CD a couple of times to fix problems I've had 
with machines. But I also know it failed to speak on my workstation at work. 
Probably I  didn't include the driver modules  in the kernel. Like I said, I 
may not be the most qualified person to do this. We'll see.
