Hi Danny,
Well, the Speakup screen reader is built right into the kernel. So, the
vmlinuz file would be the file containing Speakup. There's then a boot
loader configuration file that directs the kernel, and this contains the
parameter that tells Speakup which synthesizer to use. I believe RH 7.2
still runs Lilo, so you're looking for /etc/lilo.conf.
Now, keep in mind that RH 8 includes Speakup in its kernel. Load the RH 8
boot floppy into your floppy drive, boot from it, then type the following
command to start the install with speech:
text speakup_synth=name (where name is the appropriate value from Speakup)
Check out http://www.linux-speakup.org for further details.
