<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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?</FONT></P>
