access and speakup are 2 different things. There are floppies for both, and it's currently only available on floppy on i386. > Building something based on that for amd64 shouldn't be too hard if > you are willing and able. Note that we currently do not have floppies at all because of size issues. However, I think it should be possible to have it available in other images. Do we actually have a driver for that in the kernel, or do we need some special patch? It seems that i386 only has it with a 2.4 kernel too.
