booting with speakup installed, with no synth attached

[Brent Harding]

Can't really do that, would need it to load support for speech, and not use
it unless speech is connected. Is there "dummy dectalks" that'll tell linux
a dectalk is there, but it's really not, just to make it boot? I really
don't feel like getting another one, and going through the hastles of
applying for grants and stuff from the employer to get it, probably would
have use of it faster bringing the one I use with my laptop, as I wouldn't
use both at once, separately.
