I suspect there isn't a gentoo developer with a speech syntesizer which
probably is needed to test this thing... But maybe it's possible to just
add the patches to a vanilla-kernel and make it a masked/"unstable" ebuild?

That is a possibility, and I am willing to take a look at setting up something like that.
What I am trying to figure out though is how to get the patches into the kernel on the livecd so that a blind computer user can boot it up and install gentoo without assistance.
I have emerged the livecd-ng tool onto my system, and I am looking through the script and getting an idea of how it works.
My goal is to create a gentoo-basic or gentoo-3stages livecd for the x86 architecture that has speakup in the kernel.
Is the sample profile that comes with the livecd-ng tool the one that is used to create the official gentoo livecds? If not, could someone on the list tell me where I can get that profile?
Thanks much,
William

Hi,
I made an ebuild for linux-2.4.21 with XFS, and it supports speakup !
I submitted this ebuild with bugzilla:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24583
If you take this ebuild, you will have a recent kernel with speakup-1.5 (the
last stable version). This kernel has been tested, and speakup works well.
I am already building a LiveCD that supports speakup. If you are interested,
you can have a look at this page:
http://systemrescuecd.sourceforge.net/
Speakup is enabled in the current version, but it's destroyed at startup,
because of the keymap menu (even with kernel param "nokeymap"). I will fix
this bug in the next version.
Hope it helps.
