Hi, |

|
3 |
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. |
