Festival vs. F-lite disk space requirements

[Henrik Nilsen Omma <henrik ubuntu com>]

Hello,

We are working on packaging screen reader support for the Ubuntu Live 
CD, but have gotten ourselves a little confused regarding file sizes ...

Being a Live CD we are quite limited on disk space. We were thinking 
that we should use the smaller F-lite, rather than the full Festival, 
assuming it had smaller speech files. However, because gnome-speech 
doesn't have direct support for F-lite we also needed to include speech 
dispatcher (and gnome-speech from CVS), so it begins to grow.

Can anyone shed some light on the relative space requirements of 
Festival vs. F-lite? Does Festival include all it's supported languages 
by default or are they packaged separately (as packaged in Debian)? We 
would be happy to settle for English-only support this time around.

Thank you. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
