True, but it breaks in the Speakup Modified Red Hat Distribution. Therefore the hack, while we figure out the true fix. So, if you want to install Red Hat without speech, or using some other access technology, then use Red Hat. If you mean to use Speakup and the Speakup Modified Red Hat distribution, pay attention. Red Hat broke access as respects text menus in version 7.3. This is true not only in the installation, but also in various installed tools like the setup command. The issue seems to be newt, and Bill is looking at downgrading newt in order to fix this problem for our community--while we work on a more permanent fix with newt and the Red Hat decision makers. > > On Mon, 13 May 2002, Janina Sajka wrote: > > > Hmmm, I like Alan's advice.
