installing ubuntu via text with speech (not gnome): e.g. speakup, yasr, etc.

[Mirabella, Mathew J]

Hi all.

I understand that due to some issues with the kernel, many distributions
have not included speakup on their installation media or Live CDs in
recent times.  I was therefore wondering if ubuntu has speakup included
in the kernel of a CD image for installing the latest (7.10) desktop
release?  Or perhaps the accessibility team have helped to put something
like yasr on the installation media if speakup cannot be used?

I have also heard that some of the issues with the Linux kernel have
been fixed so that speakup may work with more recent kernels.  If this
is so, can anyone inform as to where ubuntu might go re including
speakup in the future?

Thanks.

Mat.
