Hi all. I thought I'd post the official speakimage announcement here for those that are interested. Greg ----- Forwarded message from Francois Dupoux <dupoux at dupoux.com> ----- From: Francois Dupoux <dupoux@xxxxxxxxxx> To: partimage-announce at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Partition Image new distribution: speakimage Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2002 12:21:40 +0200 User-Agent: KMail/1.4.2 Cc: partimage at romuald.net.eu.org Hi, Gregory Nowak <partimage at romuald.net.eu.org> has made speakimage. This distribution of partition image contains speakup http://www.linux-speakup.org, which is a screen reader for the GNU/Linux text console, for blind people. Speakimage can also be very interesting for other users: many partimage users complain about the problem they had with rootdisk and the bootcd. A lot of network card drivers are missing, and they must recompile their own kernel. New in this distribution of partition image is the ability to load kernel modules for 10/100 mbit ethernet (including USB) devices when booting with the boot/root floppies or via the bootable CD-ROM. this is based on linux kernel 2.4.18, and the stable partimage-0.6.1. Speakimage provides two ways to boot: - the bootable cd-rom, which is the best way to use it - 3 floppy disks (boot, root, modules) The bootable CD-Rom is available as a bzipped ISO image. Just bunzip2 it, and burn it. There are 3 floppies in the second case: speakimage-bootdisk, which is a kernel image with speakup support, the official partimage-rootdisk, and the speakimage-modules-disk, in order to load network card modules. Floppy disks are made with dd (GNU Convert & Copy).
