Re: Festival vs. F-lite disk space requirements

Henrik:

I think Flite uses the same file format. ( Will, please correct me if
I'm wrong).  It also requires a Java JRE, are you planning to include
Java in the live CD?

BTW, in the past, Java was required for  OpenOffice.org accessibility,
but that's not true of the latest version.
