This type of project has been on my back burner for a _long_ time. I can not promise being able to help with much compilng or package building unless time allows it, but I have an old 233 MHz Pentium MMX system here that I use as a crash test dummy from time to time. Getting even some basic software speech operations running on the thing would help a lot towards making it act as an independent system instead of acting as an appendage to my main system. I will also consider putting other projects on the system that need a bit of testing, as long as my time allows, and as long as the old system is fast enough to try to run them. That system is currently running Slackware 10.1 with kernel 2.6.10 (no Speakup), but reasonable changes can be made if needed. HTH, and have a _great_ day!
