Yes, Victor, we have full distributions which are fully speakup enabled.
That means that the kernels are already patched with speakup, and the boot
disks are already speakup enabled. All a user need do is to indicate their
synth and it's connection point at the first (non speaking) prompt. After
that, the install is speakup enabled, with full screen review via the
numeric keypad.

At least, this is how the Redhat distributions genned by Bill Acker work.
Someone else will have to speak up for slackware and debian, as I have no
experience there.

PS: Pun intended.

Are these boot kernels that people talked about? Does anybody have regular kernels with Speakup already compiled in?
