Hi deedra, |
2 |
Okay, sorry i should have included complete information in my original |
3 |
query. I have since googled a bit and d/l'ed the tgz from the speakup site |
4 |
and read the readme. The program itself is dtload. It is included in the |
5 |
speakup sources. It is an optional driver for the dectalk pc, and according |
6 |
to the speakup mailing list (may 04) it works with the dectalk pc2 as well, |
7 |
but files have to be replaced which come from DEC (the boards "firmware" |
8 |
files). So, with all that said, I presume I can get there from here with |
9 |
gentoo, i'll just need to use my external dectalk express long enough to |
10 |
compile the additional driver as a module and replace the default files with |
11 |
the equivilents for the pc2. |
12 |
|
13 |
So, now with all that said, does 2004.2 have speakup built-in? Is there |
14 |
anything I should watch out for when compiling mmy own kernel? I assume |
15 |
there's still not an ebuild for a kernel with speakup in it, or is there? |
16 |
|
17 |
The compile shouldn't be too horrible, after all it will be a minimal system |
18 |
for use as a router/firewall. It's also not my normal system so if I have |
19 |
to leave it in a corner compiling for a few days, that's no big deal (except |
20 |
for thunderstorms, ain't summer great?). I won't want much on it to begin |
21 |
with and I may remove most of that so that if it gets hacked they won't have |
22 |
much to work with. In fact i'll probably use a stripped down busybox for |
23 |
the shell and remove everything from /bin and /sbin that I can and have the |
24 |
system still function. As long as I can mount, I can always put the tools I |
25 |
need on cd since I will have physical access. |
