Hi,

Gregory Nowak <partimage at romuald.net.eu.org> has made speakimage. This 
distribution of partition image contains speakup 
http://www.linux-speakup.org, which is a screen reader for the GNU/Linux text 
console, for blind people.

Speakimage can also be very interesting for other users: many partimage users 
complain about the problem they had with rootdisk and the bootcd. A lot of 
network card drivers are missing, and they must recompile their own kernel. 
New in this distribution of partition image is the ability to load kernel 
modules for 10/100 mbit ethernet (including USB) devices when booting with 
the boot/root floppies or via the bootable CD-ROM. this is based on linux 
kernel 2.4.18, and the stable partimage-0.6.1.

Speakimage provides two ways to boot:
- the bootable cd-rom, which is the best way to use it
- 3 floppy disks (boot, root, modules)

The bootable CD-Rom is available as a bzipped ISO image. Just bunzip2 it, and 
burn it.

There are 3 floppies in the second case: speakimage-bootdisk, which is a 
kernel image with speakup support, the official partimage-rootdisk, and the 
speakimage-modules-disk, in order to load network card modules. Floppy disks 
are made with dd (GNU Convert & Copy).
