Hi list,
We seem to be having some last minute confusion with regard to the
Festival and F-lite options for speech support on the Live CD.
For some reason it was assumed that Festival would require 40MB of
installed space, while F-lite would only require 8MB. However, it turned
out that F-lite was not supported directly by gnome-speech and so we
needed to add speech-dispatcher to make it work. Unfortunately, this
takes the total to 17MB.
apt-cache show festival now only shows 7.3MB (and with dev packages
removed it's more like 4.8MB)
So the confusion is now complete ... is Festival really that small? and
if so why should we not simply go with Festival? We get better sound and
can avoid the unstable gnome-speech CVS and speech dispatcher.
What are we missing from this picture? :)
- Henrik
