Once you have the live cd booted and are able to ssh into the box, you can |
| 21 |
just follow the installation handbook. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
There is a speakup ebuild for gentoo, which I am about to update shortly, so |
| 24 |
once you are in the croot with the kernel compiled and installed, you can |
| 25 |
just emerge speakup and espeakup, configure espeakup to start in the default |
| 26 |
run level, configure the speakup_soft module to load when you boot the |
| 27 |
system, then you should be ready to go. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Let me know if you need more explanation about how to set these up. |

I'll do that. Although when I do decide to do this, I'll probably skip the |
| 32 |
speakup instalation and go right to installing gnome/orca. Thanks for the |
| 33 |
tips though either way. |
