You won't have Speakup on your portable system unless you hook up some kind of external synth. However, you can sure have multiple booting options in lilo (or grub) to let you boot with, or without the synth. Fortunately, the price of Linux access is right, so there's no reason not to have Speakup, Emacspeak, Yassr, Brltty, and every other accessibility advantage available. This is exactly what I do. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
