Hey guys, I have a question for anyone who can answer it. I have been
trying to install Fedora Core 3 for two days now, and am totally confused.
The reason I'm using 3 is because it's currently thee latest version that
has the Speakup modified kernel for a talking install. I'm really hoping
there is one when fedora core 6 comes out. What is happening, is that the
installation seems to lock up at the disk testing screen. I will try to
tab/alt+tab between OK and Skip, and get no where. I had some sighted
assistance for a while yesterday, and found out that the problem occurs
whether speakup is loaded or not. When speakup is loaded, it sends my
synthesizer (whether dec-talk express or Braille note) into space, and will
never quit talking until it reaches the OK or skip buttons for the disk
test. Any one have any ideas? I would greatly appreciate any help I can
get with this matter. Here is my system config.
Processor: Pentium IV 2.8 GHZ Hyperthread on an Abit ai7 main board
1 GB RAM
AC97 based sound
Seagate 40 GB IDE hard drive
NVidia Geforce 4 video card.
Again, thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
Thanks,
Guy
There are some list members that are familiar with speakup and other
non-visual aids used to install a system. Janina is a person that I
recall. There is also a William if I remember the name correctly.
I don't recall the details. I believe that FC3 had a problem related to
a problem with telnet that caused problems.
Also there is a list where you can get some help with audio interface
and braille reader problems. It is the below link.

I recall that Speakup was pulled from the kernel because of security
concerns. The later versions do not have speakup kernels as you know.
Sorry for the extra comments. Basically, I figured that I'd comment that
using speakup comments and your use of FC3 would aid others at spotting
your message for giving assistance.
