There are mainly a few key files difference between the speakup enabled
and the default distros. You could really take care of it
iteratively--it's just easier not to have to.

Essentially, you really only need the speech enabled floppy disk image to
boot your system. That will give you a speaking insta..

Next, you need the kernels with speakup--not a small download, but much
more manageable over 56K. This will get your system talking when you boot.

Lastly, you need the speakup enabled keyboard--forget the exact
filename--loadkeys, something like that.

I'm sure someone will fill in here. It's probably a good short list to put
up for folks who can't handle the megadownloads.
