Hi,

Currently, I only have the Speakup core and DEC-talk Express built into 
the kernel and the other synthesizers built as modules.  Would it be 
helpful to build everything into the kernel so all synthesizers could 
read boot messages?  Is there any benefit to building the core into the 
kernel or would it work as well if it's loaded as a module?  How much 
memory does a kernel with all synthesizers require compared to one with 
no built-in synthesizers?
