For instance, the patch below adds it to x86 cdrom, hd-media > and netboot targets. I am opposed to the patch proposed by Samuel. Reason is that Lenny images are already seriously bigger than Etch images and IMO we really do not want any more size increase if we want to keep lowmem installs working. $ du mini.* 5856 mini.etch 7992 mini.daily That's the mini.iso for i386. Somehow we have grown by 2MB, over 35%! We really should do an analysis of exactly where this increase comes from. I would suggest to only add speakup to the graphical installer images. Those are big already and already have a higher memory requirement. An extra increase there is a lot less harmful than for the "regular" images. I would also seriously suggest to limit speakup to x86 and possibly powerpc (if someone will test it!). I really do not think there will be much use for it on other arches, at least not enough to justify the size increase. Cheers, FJP
