A lot of lists for vi folks do top post though. I strike a compromise between the ones that do and the ones like this which bottom post by quoting. Anyway, as for hardware, I'm afraid I'm not much of an expert on that particular topic. In order to get hardware synthesizers to work in newer kernels, though, we have to patch them (which I'll mention in my hint when I write it.) I don't currently have such a synthesizer, but it's worth mentioning in case someone who has such a thing wants to try LFS one day. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.

(Top-posting as I gather that can be useful re accessibility stuff: is that correct?) I'd certainly be very interested in learning such info in practice. Although the software side would be the main info, if possible could there be some details on hardware that would be used typically. akh > From: "Rob" > Date: Sat, 27 Aug 2016 08:10:44 -0500 > Subject: [lfs-support] Can Regular Users Contribute? > > One of the things missing from the LFS book is the inclusion of accessibility > services, such as speakup and BRLTTY.

One of the things missing from the LFS book is the inclusion of accessibility services, such as speakup and BRLTTY. Now these services aren't exactly essential for most users, but for those with vision impairment, we need them in order to use the basic system. These packages should be installed during chroot so that we could have speech and braille after (and optionally during) the boot process. I managed to do this, but I thought it would be helfpul to include at least a page on the LFS hints site; and a reference to such a page in the LFS book.
