Speakup the debian sarge iso, a boot parameter question and the sbm (smart boot manager)

[Sean M McMahon]

This is a little disjointed but here it goes, On the fadora howto, they 
tell you to boot the iso with "text speakup_synth=synthname Is text a boot 
paramater or a fadora thing?  When I loaded the smart boot manager so I 
could boot from the sarge iso, apparently it came up with some kind of 
graphical interface that neither me nor my console familear co-worker was 
familear with and he wasn't sure where to put in the boot parameter.  Does 
anyone know how to use this boot manager or where to find documentation 
for it?Sinse my co-worker helped me boot this system I don't really know 
how to get this to work on my own I'm not sure if once you stick the 
floppy in with the boot manager you have to select where to boot from or 
if you can suddenly choose parameters.  thanks
