Top posting for blind readers.
This is the first time I've seen any request to support blind readers. I
would think that the host system would handle things for LFS, but I
understand the issue for BLFS. I'll look into adding the speakup screen
reader. Building speakup from within chroot should minimize the time
without screen reader support.
I looked for speakup on google and it gave http://www.linux-speakup.org/,
but it appears to be down. I got an "address not found" when trying to go
to the site, If you know of a better URL, let me know.
I did find
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-current/SPEAKUP_DOCS.TXT
Created BLFS ticket #7754.

Hi, I also am totally blind and think the new live disc should include the
speakup screen reader and sound card support as most newer systems don't
have built in serial ports so using an external hardware voice synthesizer
is not possible. Also, Reading the normal book I understand about no
sound card support like alsa utilities but for a blind user who requires
it for speech output could this not be moved to the LFS main book? Once
the disc is built putting directions on how you built the disc would be
very useful as well as having the disc load all of the way into ram so the
physical disc can be removed from the drive would be a very useful
addition. Nick Gawronski

I've been thinking thinking about a new Live CD/Rescue CD based on LFS.
It would be much less ambitious than the old one that included an X
implementation.
What I had in mind is a base LFS system with the following:
gptfdisk
Current fdisk tools in util-linux should support gpt. Is there any
advantage to gptfdisk now?
