Hi,
    Perhaps I missed the initial message in this thread, but I was curious 
why you'd need to go through the DD steps and all?
    I just ran the speakup.s install directly.  Granted, I have a hardware 
synthesizer, so that makes a difference.  It just worked for me though--dd 
seems an extremely brute force approach.  I don't like brute force in most 
circumstances.
Hope this helps,
Zack.
