I have used the minimal cd, but I would think any gentoo cd would have |
| 43 |
the speakup module in it, you can always check by downloading the iso, |
| 44 |
getting to the /lib/modules directory -- which might involve mounting |
| 45 |
a squashfs file system -- and checking if the speakup module is there. |
