Re: [Dragora-users] Dragora 3.0-alpha1

[Thiago]

Hello.

Congratulations on the new release!

I don't know how difficult would be to do that, but would be it possible 
to add
the Speakup kernel module with the espeakup driver to the final release
of Dragora 3.0?
Speakup is a screen reader for blind people that reads the console
output, enabling them to install and use the system.
Espeakup is a driver that enables the computer to produce speech with
the eSpeak synthesizer, so the computer can produce it with no external 
hardware.

I ask that because the only way I could install Dragora 2 onto a computer
was installing it onto a virtual machine with external tools, and with 
Speakup it would
be possible to install Dragora natively.

Update: after I wrote the message I have seen that the speakup kernel
module is already included in the iso of dragora 3.0 (the difficult 
part). The
easy part would be compiling espeakup and eSpeak as well.

Thanks in advance and happy new year!
