Hi why not pick up the orulux progject. This did some thing similar to what you are trying to do. Also I am not and the rest of us are not just complaining for no reason. We are trying to get speech in to off the shelf distros. Ubumpto was the best for this but you saw the responses I got on that. Jim Grimsby Jr. skype: Jim.grimsby I say what I mean!

Subject: Re: speakup doesn't patch into 2.6.22.6 Oops, I didn't mean to send that... In order to not waste everyone's time, I'll add that I'm toying with the idea of creating my own live linux distro. I thought that instead of complaining about other distros dropping support for speakup, I'd just make my own. Perhaps I'm not the most qualified person to do this. But I figured I'd learn as I went along. My live CD is supposed to come up talking via speakup & espeak. You can download version 0.01 at http://www.math.wisc.edu/~jheim/nitschke/nitschke-0.01.iso Note: to su to root, you'll need to enter the root password which is 'nitschke'. I've already used this live CD a couple of times to fix problems I've had with machines. But I also know it failed to speak on my workstation at work. Probably I didn't include the driver modules in the kernel. Like I said, I may not be the most qualified person to do this. We'll see. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Heim" <jheim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2007 5:43 PM Subject: Re: speakup doesn't patch into 2.6.22.6 > What is a git repository? > Huh?
