But I wouldn't really suggest it to people not being familiar with Debian/unstable. Instead use grml-deboostrap and get a plain Debian/stable plus additional software packages related to accessibility. I'd like to provide better accessibility features in grml-debootstrap out-of-the-box, but as speakup doesn't seem to work with kernel >=2.6.22 it looks like grml can't support speakup/swspeak in upcoming versions at all. So I'd like to have this sorted out (either a working speakup kernel patch, or even better a userspace only solution) before putting any further effort into it. >> second, is it possible to get free software synths other than >> what is the default one?

I love it to find "should really make it much easier to..." requests on non-grml mailinglists. Not. Why don't you send me a patch, alias, script,... or at least make a feature request into my direction? *grml* -mika- -- ,'"`. http://www.michael-prokop.at/ ( grml.org -?
