Needs editing of the iso and rebuilding the iso for any change to any file on that iso due to write permissions. All of which will make getting a flash drive which when it boots up to talk at least as long as installing gentoo. Once the iso is available for editing the emerges for espeakup and alsa-utils will need to be done then the rc-update commands provided in the instructions. I don't know what got done to gentoo isos to make them this way but they're certainly locked down tight by now. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
