Hello,

        I'm new to this list, so please bear with me.

        I have been using debian for several years now, with speakup (a 
text-only (cli) screen-review system for blind/visually-impaired users)

        The last system I installed using a CD netinst image from Shane ??. It 
installed etch and then I've had to do editing of the sources.list, to upgrade 
to sid and lenny. Then compiling a custom kernel to include the speakup patches.

        New releases of debian, I understand, have the necessary hooks in the 
kernel to permit speakup to loaded as modules without a custom kernel.. that's 
great, but...

        Here's my question:

        Is there a plan to include speakup in the d-i? wit current kernel and 
installing lenny? I am reluctant to go through the arduous process of 
installing etch/upgrading to sid then to lenny, etc. Hoping that speakup can be 
included in the d-i so that we blind/visually-impaired users can install an 
up-to-date system with speech from the beginning.

        Please advise if/when this might be included in the d-i.

        Thannks in advance,

        --terry
