Redhat6.1 boot disks with Speakup don't seem to work withDoubleTalk LT

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Voictor:

At the boot prompt, when you're booting from the ltlkb floppy image you
need to type all of the following on one line before pressing enter:

text speakup_ser=1

At least, that's what uncorked the genie in my bottle. Your mileage may
vary, but it sounds like you didn't give the speakup variable a go.
