Greetings, I'm sure someone else has probably asked this before, but I can't seam to find the answer in the archives. I have Ubuntu (8.04) installed on a test machine (not connected to the internet). I have orca and brltty both working well, but I'm interested in getting speakup for use in the text consoles (CTRL+F1-F6). My understanding is that I will need to re-compile the kernel. I want to know, is there a way to do this without sighted asistance? The kernel compiling instructions on the ubuntu wiki site require ncurses and to my understanding, orca does not function well with ncurses. Am I correct? Will brltty read ncurses? Is there another way to build the kernel with speakup? Thank you:-) _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Hotmail now works up to 70% faster. http://windowslive.com/Explore/Hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_acq_faster_112008
