It is: ramdisk speakup_synth=synthname You do not need anything but the boot disk and the root disks to get a start on your system. These disks load a very minimal system which was designed mainly to set up your hard drive(s) and install Slackware Linux from either a subdirectory, network, or CDROM set. The floppies include a basic set of tools which can let you do some things on your system, but the capabilities are of course somewhat limited (it's only a few floppies of software, after all). HTH, and have a _great_ day!
