Speakup installation

[Janina Sajka]

I think the archives of this list will support me when I say that I
share your (and Gregg's) concern for newbies. However, that defense in
this instance strikes me as a fig leaf. I would not have to dig back
very far at all in the archives to find posts from any number of
seasoned veterans on this list that would undoubtedly be
incomprehensible to newbies. Sorry. I don't buy it--especially when I
fail to see anything in the original question which would cause any kind
of harm to any newbie trying to do anything with Linux. For instance, if
they're installing Slack, Debian, Gentoo, or whatever, the issue would
not even come up. You know that, and I know that.
