creating a speakup cli cd

[Tony Baechler]

Before you do that, look at Vinux.  It's already based on Ubuntu and 
includes Speakup, but it isn't specifically command line.  It also includes 
Gnome and Orca.  I didn't recommend it to you previously because it seemed 
to crash a lot in my tests, but that was quite a while ago.  Even if you go 
ahead and build your own CD from scratch, Vinux has done a lot of the basic 
steps for you.  To me, it doesn't make much sense to reinvent the wheel.  I 
personally would rather see efforts focused on the Debian live CD since the 
kernel already has Speakup included and it's just a matter of starting 
software speech at boot.  I did some initial experiments in this regard and 
it looked like it wouldn't take more than a few hours, but I admit that I 
don't know anything about how the boot loader works.  There are already 
packages to create a plain vanilla Debian live CD on your own system, so it 
should just be a matter of adding the espeakup, espeak and speakup-tools 
packages and making sure the startup scripts work.  I might give this 
another go in a couple of weeks if no one beats me to it.
