Hi, I haven't been on gentoo in a while, but I remember this on my last try. From what I remember, speakup's modules aren't installed properly. Kinda makes me mad, I've wanted to use gentoo for a long time (portage ftw!) but I don't have another machine to do an ssh install from, and I wouldn't need that if the speech would work...
I'll have to play with the latest livecd though and see if I can get it to do something, but that's what I remember from my last try with it (early this year I think). Thanks, Derek Roberts, KJ4UFX. .i doi .tcikoritys. mi cuxna ba'e do On 10/19/10, Cleverson Casarin Uliana <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear, > > I just burned the most current iso for my architecture, called > install-amd64-minimal-20101007.iso.
