Re: installing bsd with speech

It is true that the instructions I gave are for virtualized installs.
There is a way to do a serial port install with 2 computers, a serial port and modifying the bootblocks on the install disk to setup the console.
I have not done that for a while, but It can be done.
There is also a BSDInstall for automating installs.

First, you are logged into your arch or debian or ubuntu or other system using either a console or ssh. Then you build your machine according lucely to the template instructions I provided. The console is curses, so it displays in your terminal without using graphics modes.
Therefore speakup runs and you get speech from it.

Yes, the speakup on the hostsystem, in this case your ArchLinux box, is used, and no speakup support in the guest and virtualized BSD system is present. That means the BSD is accessible because the Linux host has speech or / and braile support enabled.

I think the question was, if BSD does support speakup or braille itself, so it can be installed natively and not only virtualized.

I'd be also interested in native speech or braille support in BSD, but as far I can find out via Google there is no BSD distribution that has brltty, speakup, or what ever included which we know from Linux systems.

Cheers,

 Schoepp
