Bootdisk for Redhat 7.2 with Speakup1.0

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hi Vic,

Yes; I have Speakup running on both my Slackware boxes at this time.  So, 
for an Accent PC, I'd type the following:

text speakup_synth=acntpc

I am not very familiar with parameters at the boot prompt; I have in the 
past just used the proper version of Speakup which is specific to my 
synthesizer.

Thanks.
