Using speakup and emacspeak together

[Janina Sajka]

You don't need to have two kernels to achieve this. Simply use an 
"append=speakup_synth=[your.synth.keyword]" to distinguish two entries 
pointing to the same kernel in your lilo.conf to accomplish the same 
result. Much more elegant and far easier to maintain.

PS: I do this all the time. Here's an example from my lilo.conf:

image = /boot/vmlinuz
label=nospeech
alias = n
vga=0X317
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
append = "hdc=ide-scsi hde=ide-scsi"

image = /boot/vmlinuz
label=express
alias = x
vga=0X317
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
append = "speakup_synth=dectlk hdc=ide-scsi hde=ide-scsi"

image = /boot/vmlinuz
label=litetalk
alias = l
vga=0X317
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
append = "speakup_synth=ltlk hdc=ide-scsi hde=ide-scsi"

image = /boot/vmlinuz
label=bns
alias = b
vga=0X317
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
append = "speakup_synth=bns hdc=ide-scsi hde=ide-scsi"
