Hi all, I have a bit of a general question, but please read the whole message before replying to my question. Can there be a version of speakup for user space, with no modifications at all necessary for the kernel? I do understand that this means boot messages will not be read ... I do understand that this means that installations will not be carried out as before, and no, I am not suggesting this as a replacement. I simply would like an application based version of speakup without modifications necessary to the kernel at all. Is this possible? If this is possible, would it then be able to run on operating system other than system five? For example, I want to learn FreeBSD, because a friend of mine has been telling me all about it, and I'd like to play around with it. I would, of course, like to use speakup with it. Could this be possible? I suppose I'm asking if this could be more possible if SpeakUP lived in user space, because if worse came to worse, one could always run Linux binaries in FreeBSD. Thanks for any advice you all, and I hope everyone has a great upcoming week. Take care, Sina
