Talking Arch Linux Installer

[Jude DaShiell]

slackware isn't talking yet.  That may change though since Patrick 
Volkerding found out all the hardware synthesizers that were able to have 
slackware talking have been disabled by a block the linux kernel folks put 
in the kernels.  Patrick is considering putting the whole espeakup 
dependency stack on slackware install disks as a result of the breakage. 
Patrick tried the patch supplied by John Heim here on speakup and found 
that it works but if espeakup module is ever removed it results in a 
kernel panic and a system crash.
Gentoo does talk, but to the best of my knowledge nobody has done a 
podcast episode explaining how to use the speakup facilities to gentoo 
installed in such a way that gentoo comes up talking on first reboot after 
system installation is complete.  If I can get that podcast episode, I'll 
be installing gentoo here on at least one large hard disk I have.
