RE: method for getting speak and espeakup into a debian live image
I am working on a similar issue with a copy of kali linus (a derivative of Debian).
My configuration is at http://github.com/dr1861/drkali.git.
I think I pulled the speakup stuff out of my configuration because it caused the system to be unbootable, but I will put it back in within the hour.
Any pointers on how to get it working would be appreciated.

Hi, I have in my live directory the config directory and in that directory
there is another directory called package-lists. In that directory there
is a file called live.list.chroot where it contains packages like the
live-boot and live-config. I just went to the end of the file and entered
in espeakup and speak on different lines. To do the initial configuration
as I am using the current build of debian live in testing I did lb init
then lb config then edited the file and finally did lb build. I got the
iso image and burned it to a disc in the usually way using wodim and no
speech. One suggestion is could there not be a meta package for live
building where if say speakup_soft was put in a package list all needed
components would be put into the image? Also, is there a way to stop the
build once the chroot is made to allow me to go into it and manually
configure things then restart it to finish the build process? Nick
