All,

there is now a test iso for amd64 which has speakup and brltty included.

http://mirrors.sfo1.gni.com/Gentoo/ten/livedvd-amd64-10.0-20090909-0915.iso

When you boot this, it should beep when you get to the boot prompt.
- From there, type something like:

gentoo speakup.synth=xxx speakup_synth.ser=x ...

to bring up the system with speakup, or,

gentoo brltty=something [etc]

to start brltty.

We need people to test this and report back what they find.

For any issues you find, please open bugs at http://bugs.gentoo.org and
have them block bug 281827.

An x86 iso will be out shortly.

Thanks,

- --

As the name of the image suggests, this  iso is too big to burn to a cd,
so you will need to burn it to a dvd, or, it should be able to be booted
from a usb stick or hard drive.
