4 Hi all,
5
6 my concern is that there is no documentation for catalyst, and it would
7 take a lott of time for us to figure out how to use it. Also, I
8 disagree with having separate isos for us. I feel that the default isos
9 for gentoo should be accessible. Since releng is making cds, I want to
10 try to work with them first to get accessibility on those cds to happen.
11
12 Also, making the packages work correctly is not just a matter of adding
13 them to the cd, we have to make the boot scripts recognize that we want
14 speech. I have given releng a patch to do this, see this bug:
15 http://bugs.gentoo.org/267708.
16
17 Also, there is support on the development mailing list for getting this
18 put on the cds, so I want to work with them first before I attempt to
19 figure out another means of making the distribution accessible.
