I'm not shy and I never learned to suffer in silence.... or succeed in |
11 |
silence either for that matter, So i'm sure that you'll hear. I look |
12 |
forward to having speechd-up working. Speech-dispatcher 5, that doesn't |
13 |
work with speakup correct? That's targeted more toward emacs isn't it? Of |
14 |
course, speech dispatcher may be required for speechd-up? In any case, I |
15 |
won't mind breaking (okay, trying) things, but if there isn't a direct |
16 |
impact to speakup it won't be a priority. |
17 |
|
18 |
On the other hand, i'm contemplating going back to my original partitioning |
19 |
scheme so emerging and testing before I wax shouldn't be a problem. I'm |
20 |
still learning things i should have done (or shouldn't have done) which I |
21 |
expected going into this. Eventually i'll have to stop transporting the |
22 |
Dectalk back and forth, it's just too rough on the hardware. |
23 |
|
24 |
Has anyone out there had any experience building/using a vanilla kernel |
25 |
under gentoo? Will I have to d/l and apply speakup manually? I'm |
26 |
contemplating moving up to the latest 2.6 kernel to see if hardware issues |
27 |
go away (see comment above about things that shouldn't be done). At this |
28 |
point i'm looking the biggest hammer I can find. In case ya'll haven't |
29 |
realized it yet, i'm playing with toys right now, not seriously dependant on |
30 |
gentoo running stable, although I would like to get to that point. I'll be |
31 |
moving in a month or so and I want a linux (any linux) system up and running |
32 |
then to use as a proxy on the new network. Additionally, once I get |
33 |
comfortable with the build process i'll be teaching my son (we home school) |
34 |
and I need to be proficient enough to help him out if he gets stuck. Of |
35 |
course, that system will be a lot older, and hopefully easier to deal with. |

Okay, enough rambling. |
