This would likely be a fine chance to get Speakup put into the distro their cooking up. I'll take a swing at contacting these folks and trying to encourage the idea. If anyone would like to help, please send me some of your thoughts as justification and ideas on making sure a text-base console will be available or some means to do a text-base install. Ay, its just one more way to get Speakup out there and show folks how Linux can be accessible to all. Scott
