Re: [gentoo-accessibility] No software speech in the last ISO

[Derek Roberts]

Hi,

Sounds right to me, but haven't been able to test. I know I could
install from another distro, just wish the gentoo livecd would work.
:(
Not sure about speechdup, I haven't actually tried installing it.
Speech-dispatcher has always been unstable for me, not really sure
why.

THanks.
