I thought the 2.6.26 and later could somehow be done without having to build a kernel? I'm thinking of those machines or situations where one could sit down at the computer and drop in speakup without modifying the kernel on that machine. Are we not quite there yet? I think it would be really cool if one could slap Speakup modules on a thunb drive or something and boot a linux machine that is being visitted and have the speakup modules loaded from the USB device with a mere boot parameter or something like that. This would be similar to the U3 implementations in windows or the Screen reader on a stick concempt.
