Ok, the command I ran is: equery size espeak speakup espeakup portaudio This returns the following: app-accessibility/espeak-1.40.02: total(304), inaccessible(0), size(2845230) app-accessibility/espeakup-0.60: total(16), inaccessible(0), size(99234) app-accessibility/speakup-3.0.3_p200904041142: total(34), inaccessible(0), size(257646) media-libs/portaudio-19_pre20071207: total(43), inaccessible(0), size(554648) So, somewhere between 3 and 4 mb, not including alsa support. I realize that everyone wouldn't use this, but for those of us who do, it does not fall into the category of a "nice feature to have", it is a necessity. So, I think it should go on both our live and minimal cds. - -- William Hubbs gentoo accessibility team lead [email protected] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkoXLJ4ACgkQblQW9DDEZTjwAgCgp2PMFeflAQ+FFjyNJetsqnef TWgAoIOanI84dpjp0U3aicxQ77tLLKeG =T/3e -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
