This is correct. The syntax is speakup_synth=dtlk When you first boot the bootdisk wait for the disk to stop spinning. At this point it's at the lilo prompt. It is waiting for you to press enter or give it the image to boot plus parameters. In this case you want to type the following: ramdisk speakup_synth=dtlk This will enable speakup using the doubletalk synthesizer. Proceed to let the kernel load and when it asks for the ramdisk put in the 2nd floppy which you should have previously made from either color.gz or text.gz and press enter. I recommend using color.gz as the text.gz is not fully working.
