fwd: [bugzilla-daemon at gentoo.org: [Bug 20283] Kernel/Livecd does not include speakup.]

[Doug Lawlor]

I patched speakup into the sys-kernel/vanilla-sources kernel which is 
now up to 2.4.21 I believe.  Basically what you do to install gentoo is 
untar a gentoo stage tarball into an empty partition then follow there 
install instructions.  It is not necessary to have an actual gentoo cdrom to 
install this.  I suspect even a toms root disk would do.  When you untar 
the tar ball you chroot into the gentoo environment and do all of your 
configuration inside the gentoo chroot.
