I'm just a bit surprised the none of the recent iso's I've tried have |
2 |
a working speakup/espeakup. I was able to do it over ssh in a vmware |
3 |
system and get the espeakup and speakup working in the vm, but I want |
4 |
to get it on my real pc and don't have another box I can hook up and |
5 |
play with. |
6 |
|
7 |
Although I haven't tried this in a couple months so the situation may |
8 |
have changed. What's the most recent gentoo cd that has a working |
9 |
speakup with espeakup on it that people know of? |
