installing slackware 8.0 with speakup

[Gregory Nowak]

This may or may not effect your windows partition depending on if you know what you're doing, and how carefull you are. You do not need to go through the slackware install again if you've got it installed correctly, since making the partition bootable doesn't effect the data on it.
