-- If nothing else at least three of us learned something useful today. I suppose the shortest way to explain what I did extra before running make menuconfig was to emerge espeakup. Having done that espeakup emerged about 35 packages many of which it likely would need. I'm pretty sure that step was correct, what if anything else to do after that before make menuconfig I don't yet know.
