Hi, |
| 2 |

The gentoo 2008 live cds do not have speakup built into them. if you |
| 4 |
want a live cd with speakup built into it, you'll need to use a 2007 |
| 5 |
live cd. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The reason for this is because at the time the 2008 live cds were made |
| 8 |
speakup was not built into the kernel do to some problems with speakup |
| 9 |
itself. |
