No, it is the other way around -- installing speechd-up installs
speakup.

I really do not want to do this, because I know there are people out
there using speechd-up, and it is also a good solution.

The main difference between them is that espeakup is more like the
ttsynth connector, and it is a light weight connector, mainly designed
for live cds, embedded systems, etc.

Once it is installed, add it to the default runlevel by typing.

rc-update add espeakup default

as root.

Once you make sure that the softsynth module is set up to load on boot,
you should be fine from there.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Thanks,

William
