Because the speakup.i kernel was removed. It used to be there at one
time. I think a determination was made that the speakup.s kernel would
work for ide disks too and that freed up some space on the CD for other
software. One note that should maybe be added to the speakup documentation
for slackware is about swap partitions needing to be twice the ram size
that's on a computer. With slackware, it's possible to create a swap
partition first then create the remaining partitions after that. A note
about shadowconfig on might help some, and a note about slapt-get could go
a little way towards helping new users keep up with new updates. None of
this stuff is mentioned by Patrick in the welcome message. The hosts.deny
and hosts.allow files would be another good topic to cover even if all
that's done is to suggest new installers read their man pages.
