Hello
I believe zipspeak is a modified version of zipslack from slackware.
Zipslack is a version of slackware Linux with a minimul set of applications
and is installed in to a Ums-dos file system, this allows you to extract
the zip file and then run Linux with out having to repartition your hard
drive. I am not certain exactly how zipspeak differs from zipslack in what
is installed but zipspeak has been preconfigured to work with speakup. I
wonder though with slackware including speakup by default is there a reason
to maintain the zipspeak distribution?

Unless slackware would take it upon themselves to add speakup and the few other modifications into zipslack to make it compatible with zipspeak, then yes, there still is a reason why zipspeak should be maintained separately.

All you have to do is copy the speakup.i kernel over the existing kernel,
and Zipslack is Speakup enabled.  In version 8.0, you had to remove a line
that loaded a US keymap over the Speakup one, but this was removed in 8.1
specifically because it interfered with Speakup.  All the Speakup kernels
handle UMSDOS as well.

You also need to replace the default lynx.cfg with a modified one. There may be other adaptation issues that I don't know about as well.

  The main difference between zipspeak and zipslack is zipspeak has speakup
in it all ready and zipslack doesn't.  There are other differences like
zipspeak has less packages installed, I think.
