Live CDs (was: speakup doesn't patch into 2.6.22.6)

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.

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.
