One thing one might want to add to the installation document for Speakup is
the need for loadkeys. I know when I installed slackware 7.1 recently, I
explicitly chose not to install the kbd package because I didn't think I
would need special keyboard maps nor the special additional fonts that were
offered. It was after patching the kernel with speakup that I found that
the loadkeys module was needed. Thanks to the fine folks on this list, I
got that all straitened out and we're back in the saddle again with Speakup
and the latest kernel.
If this is already mentioned, then I guess I missed something. If not, I
think it would be a good idea to mention this in the INSTALLATION file. I
don't know what other distributions do with loadkeys but I do know that
slackware has it in the kbd package.
