Live CDs (was: speakup doesn't patch into 2.6.22.6)

[John Heim]

I don't even know what lfs is. I made my bootable CD by installing debian on 
a 790 Mb partition and then
running bootcdwrite.

So I guess I'm dealing with sound the same way debian does it. I've tried my 
live CD on 4 machines and got speech on 3 of them. All 4 machines had 
integrated sound cards.
