Installing Slackware with Speakup and Espeak

[Alex Snow]

You can keep KDE if you want, but I'd definitely keep X since iirc there 
are a lot of packages that break if you don't install it.

Eh, that's it, I guess.  No 300 million dollar unveiling event for this
kernel, I'm afraid, but you're still supposed to think of this as the
"happening of the century" (at least until the next kernel comes along).
Oh, and this is another kernel in that great and venerable "BugFree(tm)"
series of kernels. So be not afraid of bugs, but go out in the streets
and deliver this message of joy to the masses.
