speakup modified slackware ISO's may be removed

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Hi all,
I'm going to go ahead and keep the images available on the ftp server. The
response against removing them was strong enough that I think I have enough
of an audience that I am willing to stay on the project. I will post an
official message saying as much in a moment.
