speakup 1.0 and slackware 8.0

[Gregory Nowak]

Assuming your cd-rom drive is d: under windows, you get the speakup boot disk for ide drives from:
d:\bootdsks.144\speakup.i
The same procedure goes for the color.gz root disk which is in:
d:\rootdsks\color.gz
. Then you would write the images to the floppies as if you had gotten them off the speakup sight which is what it looks like you were planning to do.
