Hello. I want to get Linux on my Netbook, an EeePC 1000HE. I use Slackware. I noticed that the speakup.s kernel has soft synth support, but strangely, the installation dvd doesn't seem to have espeak. I consider the best solution to get it installed, I wonder about making a custom installation DVD with the addition of espeak and espeakup. I thought of a few other ways, but getting it talking as quickly as possible seems like the best thing. I wondered if anyone had any input, or had done this. -- Austin Seraphin - http://sunbeem.net SunbEEm Solutions - Every Thing has a Solution. SunbEEm has two E's.
