If anyone wants to test it and play with it, you can find the current one here: http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/experimental/x86/livecd/livecd-2.6_11-20-200 3.iso Be warned, this is conciddered experimental, so there may be problems. I've tested the boot process, but I've not done the full install. There will probably be more updates to this as the 2.6 kernel progresses. if you want to keep track of th e progress, you can go to 'http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/experimental/x86/livecd/' A few notes: In order to have the kernel boot with speakup, you will need to do 'gentoo speakup_synth=your_synth (like ltlk, dtlk etc)" at the boot prompt. For the most part, the gentoo install seems to be very easy. For those of you who want to install it, you can find the install docs here: "http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml". I don't know if any of the other arches have speakup kernels, I haven't gotten into that, but I think this is definitly a nice start. - -- Freenode staff member: dmwaters@freenode.net , http://www.freenode.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/yPByU5AGPOTGNc8RAoQnAJ9TqoqOlNkaCv/6ezRjbrLkfsL7KgCeKKUe xujso4y7X8h0TIo2oDiLm+A= =T+nO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
