<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think it would be an asset to the distro if we could figure out a way to get </DIV>
<DIV>sftsyn working on the livecd. It would probably never see primetime, but if </DIV>
<DIV>we could at least get in included in the downloadable catalyst scripts or </DIV>
<DIV>something then people who need this can compile it up from that. Anyway.</DIV>
<DIV>It is this end, the creation of a custom catalyst script that includes sftsyn </DIV>
<DIV>support in a livecd, that I am trying to reach. I demo'd the system on a full </DIV>
<DIV>install to some clients of mine here and there is intrest in getting gentoo into </DIV>
<DIV>systems for use by housebound people with MS and ME.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>--aside--</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>I understand this will require the use of 2.6.20 sources, which the ebuilds</DIV>
<DIV>will have to be put in an overlay so they don't disappear. </DIV>
<DIV>This will hold true till upstream is done with their rejig.</DIV></DIV>
<DIV>---</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In order to accomplish this, some extra packages need to be added to the </DIV>
<DIV>stock standard list, services need to be added to etc/init.d by using the </DIV>
<DIV>appropriate catalyst conf lines, then the whole thing needs to be built.</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>The addition of speech-dispatcher and espeak packages is not a problem.</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>As an additional question though, what about the MASKED freebsoft-utils, which</DIV>
<DIV>seems to be needed for sftsyn to work?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>The meta-package idea is a seperate issue and can be delt with later, </DIV>
<DIV>as on reflection it is unnecessary here and probably in all events.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Thanks,</DIV>
