Installing Slackware Without Hardware Synthesizer

[Jude DaShiell]

Not with slackware 14.1 and I suspect not with slackware_current either 
but you could write volkerdi at slackware.com and ask what the 
accessibility status is of slackware_current there may be a software 
speech capability in it by now but I doubt it.  I've read no news on 
this from slackware.com on their website and I suppose it's possible 
slackware.com could have given up on providing accessibility but I 
haven't read that either so don't quote me on that.  If slackware ever 
gets to a point it can work with a kickstart file though maybe many more 
things will become possible.

One website I read a while back had instructions for installing 
emacspeak as a screen reader environment and making a talking login 
prompt.
Slackware does have an initialization file where boot up commands can be 
put once an iso gets put on a hard drive opened up edited then burnt to 
dvd again but you'd have to have commands you could put into it to get 
speech going.  I don't know if yasr can run a sound card, but if it can 
and you can come up with the commands that might be a possibility. 
Other thing you might try is searching slackbuilds.org for kickstart and 
see if anyone made a script to build it on slackware.
