Hi everyone, glad you like the idea. I found a great little tutorial called Cooking up some Slack: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Applications_GUI_Multimedia/Cooking_Up_Some_Slack_CUSS and it looks very doable, I feel comfortable with that, so will start looking around. I'll also check out the audio question, I agree, the installer probably doesn't for minimalist reasons. I would also love to see espeak integrated into the main Slackware distribution, especially given that the kernel already has the soft synth module, why not go the extra mile so to speak? On the other hand, I might also see a need for a custom distro, partially for the audio, but also because Slackware doesn't ship with Gnome any more. Why not trade KDE for Gnome, especially if one of the projects will let us use their work? Emacspeak even comes in /extra now, we could include that as well, why not? Either way, speakup and espeak would represent the core. I'll start looking around and let you all know what I find, you can do the same, and maybe we can get something together. I've always liked Slackware also, and consider it the most accessible distribution. -- Austin Seraphin - http://sunbeem.net SunbEEm Solutions - Every Thing has a Solution. SunbEEm has two E's.
