Well, if the Linux console moves into user space, this doesn't have mean the end of hardware speech. Perhaps the way forward is through initramfs? As a proof of concept, I built one that had the Speakup modules, audio libraries, and espeakup. I had *software* speech running from the initramfs. It was a bit difficult to build it, because I had to figure out all of the dependencies and add them. But it worked. Now, if you're just doing hardware speech, things are going to be much less complicated, and it should definitely be possible to have it long before the root partition is mounted, even if the Linux console code ends up migrating to userspace. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
