Actually it's not necessarily the web part I want to work with Speakup, but 
the linux it comes with. I thought I heard one can just get a tar ball and 
install it into anything. What I mean is how I'd put in a Kernel that speaks 
versus one that doesn't so I can use the linux console of the system once 
it's up to find the IP that gets assigned and to set up dynamic DNS and a 
few other things I want on there.
