The following has to be done before the new CD can be released:

 * Get feedback whether the speakup issue with copying and pasting 
prevents one from building LFS.

 * Configure brltty to use Speech Dispatcher when needed. The needed 
configuration is just one line in /etc/brltty.conf, but it is wrong to 
enable speech support in brltty for languages not supported by espeak. 
It is also not clear whether speech support in brltty has to be enabled 
by default even for English language, and a new boot parameter has to be 
created that overrides the default. Currently, I am waiting for feedback.

 * Check buildability and functionality of the minimal branch - the 
today's merge is completely untested. A build is in progress on ums.usu.ru.

The following would be nice:

 * Spilt initramfs into 32-bit and 64-bit parts, in order to reduce the 
required minimum amount of RAM.

 * Build 64-bit CDs.

 * Get feedback on the rtl8187 driver status (i.e.: does it work at all?).

 * Test speakup with USB sound card (again - does it work at all?).

People with the relevant hardware are welcome to build the CD from trunk 
and help me with the last two items.
