Detailed Description

Some important messages could be said out loud by the system:

• Your mirrors are not configured yet
• An update is available
• A new release is available
• The battery is low
• No network detected
• ...

Why it would be good for Mageia to include it

• Many systems are nowadays speaking
• It is comfortable for the user to know that important things are automatically looked after and give a warning we can't miss (unlike an icon or an error message staying under a window).
• We meet in the forums people complaining they can't install because they don't configure their mirrors.
