Speakup and slackware v 11

[Travis Siegel]

I had sighted assistance when trying to get this to work after the  
first couple tries, so to answer the question,
Yes, the cd had stopped spinning, but that doesn't address the issue  
after linux was installed, I still got no speech from speakup, so had  
to use the serial port to login with my note taker instead of having  
it speak as it should.
Also, On the first machine I used, there were two serial ports, and I  
tried them both.  After that didn't work, I switched over to a machine  
that had only one port, just so that wouldn't be an issue.
I'm still getting the same issue.
Once, AI did get what sounded like the welcome to slackware prompt on  
the notetaker, but nothing after that, and no startup messages or the  
like.
