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. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Gawronski [mailto:n...@nickgawronski.com] Sent: Friday, September 05, 2014 5:30 PM To: Zed Cc: debian-live@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: method for getting speak and espeakup into a debian live image 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?
