Hi, I'd think that a DVD with espeakup and espeak would be a good idea in general, as serial ports and related things are becoming harder to find. The question is whether the Slackware installer as currently packaged loads sound support by default? I wouldn't think so. Does the kernel even come with the appropriate modules? I hope this project can come to something, as I've always liked Slackware and a way to make it easier to install would be great. Hope it works out, Zack.
