Yes, this jogs my memory, and matches what I remember. As far as I
recall, all the other images before that time which included speakup
were specially made, and hosted on linux-speakup.org, or
speakupmodified.org in the case of redhat/fedora. Incidentally, I do
believe slackware 8 was the first distribution to officially include speakup.
