I have Ubuntu (8.04) installed on a test machine (not connected to the inte= rnet). I have orca and brltty both working well=2C but I'm interested in g= etting speakup for use in the text consoles (CTRL+F1-F6). My understanding= is that I will need to re-compile the kernel. I want to know=2C is there = a way to do this without sighted asistance? The kernel compiling instructi= ons on the ubuntu wiki site require ncurses and to my understanding=2C orca= does not function well with ncurses. Am I correct? Will brltty read ncur= ses? Is there another way to build the kernel with speakup? Thank you:-) _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Hotmail now works up to 70% faster. http://windowslive.com/Explore/Hotmail?ocid=3DTXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_acq_fast= er_112008=
