As far as I know this hasn't been done yet. I was planning on starting some work on this, but never got the process off the ground. One thing I am unsure of is exactly which kernel should I make my patch off of. 2.6.18, 2.6.18.4, this I am unclear about. I found some instructions on how to add the needed lines to the spec file to add Speakup in, but didn't try out a test build. This guide tells how to modify the kernel on Centos. http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel Hope this might be enough to get you started. This in itself though isn't all that is needed. This would just add Speakup in to the kernel so that after the system was installed I could get it talking. This probably doesn't fix keymap issues with in the installer itself though. For doing the install I use a kickstart file to answer the questions I want, but I had to come up with this one by trial and error so this took some time. Also one bad thing I can think of is that Centos doesn't have a telnet install option. From what I remember they do their remote installs via vnc and this won't work for us.

Subject: CentOS Has anyone ported speakup to CentOS? For those of you who don't know, CentOS is a RedHat product. (Basically the enterprise version without support) CentOS is extremely stable, and does not come out with new versions at the same speed as Fedora does. (Fedora, another RedHat product.) I am interested in a Centos install if it can be considered as a candidate for speakup, and all the other accessibility offerings found in fedora.
