Patience please! I have yet to download that crux distro but once I have and have had a chance to check it out I'll let you all know. These days are unusual since I have a project at work which is taking up my time but those usually come to an end shortly and once that has happened I'll likely check it out and try at least installing emacspeak on it. If I ever learn how to do a speakup install from the sources, that would be a possibility too.
