speakup and gentoo kernels

[Steve Holmes]

How easy would it to be to create floppy boot images to launch this live CD?
I would need to build floppies so I could boot from my older machines that
cannot boot directly from CD.

> Alex, it's a bit of both. Basically what the livecd does is give you a
mini os so to speak so that you can  install gentoo. It provides you with
the ability to ssh if you need to, provides youw ith links for a web
browser, an irc client, and a couple of other things that you may need. What
I also like about this is that I can boot the cd on a machine, set the root
password, and start ssh. From there, I can  ssh into the box I just booted,
and do the install remotely if I choose.

I've been told,  once it's conciddered stable, then they will include a
small section on how to get the cd to boot with speakup. I've done about 6
or 8 installs with this lived, heh, so I can tell you how to get it ggoing
