writing spk howto (?)

[Willem van der Walt<willem@top.health.gov.za>]

Hi,
Go ahead with the software synth howto.
As you say the docs is a little outdated.
Do you have speakup running using software speech under fedora c2?
If so, I would like to have the details, howto or no howto.
Regards, Willem
