Hi Bruce, The Linux-speakup.org page should be up again shortly. They are having some trouble with the servers.

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. -- Bruce Nick Gawronski wrote: > 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.
