I'd do it myself, but I'm not a programmer. You can still install gentoo you just need to use one of the previous livecds such as2007.1 or even one of the earlier ones such as 2006.1. All a new release with gentoo means is a new set of livecds and more current stages. Long as you've got internet access you can still download a current stage. Also nothing says that gentoo won't pick up the fixed speakup patch and put it into 2.6.22 once it's fixed. I think the main reason it got dropped is because 1, gentoo wants to keep moving forward, this means a more current kernel and it can't do that with patches that break the kernel. > > I have to reinstall linux because I'm changing machines soon.
