Hi Well done that sounds great. I might have a go at that myself. The lfs livecd developers have suggested I use a debian script. However, there some sound cards that it will not affect automatically upon boot. Thanks.

Subject: Live CDs (was: speakup doesn't patch into 2.6.22.6) I don't even know what lfs is. I made my bootable CD by installing debian on a 790 Mb partition and then running bootcdwrite. So I guess I'm dealing with sound the same way debian does it. I've tried my live CD on 4 machines and got speech on 3 of them. All 4 machines had integrated sound cards.
