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 do have one more question, however. I'm assuming the live CD won't stay at |
32 |
the boot prompt for long (I remember hearing something about it being 5 |
33 |
seconds or so?). I'm wondering if there's some way I'd be able to tell when |
34 |
it reached the boot prompt. Of course if not, I can always wait for it to |
35 |
load and change the password/start SSH the old fashion way. |
