List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Yes, Victor, we have full distributions which are fully speakup enabled. That means that the kernels are already patched with speakup, and the boot disks are already speakup enabled. All a user need do is to indicate their synth and it's connection point at the first (non speaking) prompt. After that, the install is speakup enabled, with full screen review via the numeric keypad. At least, this is how the Redhat distributions genned by Bill Acker work. Someone else will have to speak up for slackware and debian, as I have no experience there. PS: Pun intended.

However, today someone mentioned that one can download Speakup-enabled kernels. Are these boot kernels that people talked about? Does anybody have regular kernels with Speakup already compiled in? > Best, > Vic > >
