Ok here's a curley one for yall to try and explain to me.
What is Suse? Is it an open source os like linux?
If so, do you think I'd be able to patch it with speakup?
I'm gonna try whatever is accessable some how or other.
personally, I'd like to see speakup able to be compatable with most or if we had the people to do it, all unix based systems.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Shaun..
Oh. by the way, I'm gonna reinstall linux as I screwed up a kernel build and decided to start all over again.
ah well, It won't be the last time I screw up, otherwise I won't learn will I?

That would be nice. However, the problem is that the source code for all Unix systems is not freely available. The binaries for such an OS also cost a bundle of money.

Hi:

SUSE is a distribution of linux, in the same way as debian, slackware,
redhat and mandrake are.  The issue with SUSE is mainly that, as far as I
know, no-one's made boot disks for it with speakup compiled in.  Whether
this is because the SUSE installer is graphical and is thus unusable with
speakup, or merely that no-one's gotten around to doing it, I do not know.

Speakup should run under all linux distributions for the PC, providing you
don't try to run it under Xwindows of course.  AFAIK, speakup should work
under some other architectures with little or no modification, though this
is largely untested.  For the moment, speakup can't run under any other
unix operating systems, as it needs to be compiled into the kernel which
obviously differs across operating systems.  I don't know how many other
unix variants have kernels that would lend themselves to being modified
like this, but I dare say that such porting is a long way down any lists of
things to do.

This brings up an interesting question for me.  What about FREEBSD? As far
as I know (little), Free BSD is open - wonder how hard it would be to port
Speakup to that environment as well?
