This particular project is not designed for that purpose. This is just
the Slackware install CD customized a bit. The install CD is designed to
allow you to put Slackware Linux on your hard drive. There are a few CD
based systems out there if you are interested in that.

Marriage (N): An arrangement which usually results in twice the amount
of arguing and half the amount of sex.

>> Hello all,
>> I would like to let everyone know that I now have the first disc of
the
>> Slackware 10.1 CD set available in a speakup modified form. I started
this
>> project with Slackware 10.0, and have decided to continue it due to
its
>> success. In case you don't already know, this project provides a
Slackware
>> install CD with the Speakup screen reader in all kernels. The
speakup.s
>> kernel has been removed, and all other kernels have been recompiled
to
>> include Speakup. This allows blind and visually impaired users to
install
>> Slackware Linux using the XFS filesystem, using SATA or SCSI, or
using any
>> other support provided by the kernels on the CD.
>>
>> You can download the speakup modified ISO image via ftp at:
>>
>> ftp://ftp.pcdesk.net/slackware/slackware-10.1-iso
>>
>> Or via rsync at:
>>
>> rsync://ftp.pcdesk.net/slackware/slackware-10.1-iso
>>
>> I have also set up a web site for this project, which I am currently
>> revamping. You can find the site at:
>>
>> http://www.pcdesk.net/slackwarespk.html
>>
>> In the past, I provided both discs 1 and 2 in a Speakup modified
form. I
>> regrette to inform everyone that as of version 10.1, disc 2 of the CD
set
>> no longer appears to be a bootable rescue CD as it was in the past.
Because
>> of this, disc 1 is the only one available on my site for this
version. It's
>> really too bad actually. That CD made a nice rescue disc.
>>
>> If anyone has any questions, comments, flames, etc. concerning this
>> project, feel free to contact me via email at jbahm at pcdesk.net.
Enjoy!
