Speakup installation on lap top.

[Toby Fisher]

Hi all.

Having got a fairly stable desk top system now, I'm thinking of flattening
my lap top hard drive and putting Linux on it.  I propose to make my own
kernel, since the bareapm.I that comes with Slackware has no speakup
support.  This is no problem, as I can also use one of the root disks.  I
do, however, have a couple of questions.

1.  Has anyone encountered any problems/pitfalls of which I should be
aware, either
speakup-related, or generally, with installation to a lap top?

2.  Quite often, I use my lap top to present some documents with graphics
in them to sighted people.  I know that I can retrieve the text from such
documents with the strings command, but is there anyway I can retain the
formatting and graphics in their place?  Obviously an accessible method
would be preferable, though it is not absolutely essential.

Any thoughts on this subject gratefully appreciated.

Cheers.
