One thing one might want to add to the installation document for Speakup is the need for loadkeys. I know when I installed slackware 7.1 recently, I explicitly chose not to install the kbd package because I didn't think I would need special keyboard maps nor the special additional fonts that were offered. It was after patching the kernel with speakup that I found that the loadkeys module was needed. Thanks to the fine folks on this list, I got that all straitened out and we're back in the saddle again with Speakup and the latest kernel. If this is already mentioned, then I guess I missed something. If not, I think it would be a good idea to mention this in the INSTALLATION file. I don't know what other distributions do with loadkeys but I do know that slackware has it in the kbd package.
