I went ahead and followed the steps for turning off firstboot and kudzu and cups and my machine booted fine. But due to the fact that i hadn't noticed I had the caps lock key on when I typed my root password, my caps and lowercase password characters were reversed and i couldn't log in; fortunately the three-finger salute worked. Then I used the braillified disk so I could access the first cd as a rescue disk and was able to set up brltty at boot and change the run level etc., and when I finished i was able to boot and figure out my login problem. I think I probably had an ok install with speakup too; i'm sure there must have been a minor mistake that kept it from talking and I don't think it was booting completely because I got beeps when trying to log in, but this way I'll be well-versed in FC installation. I will probably do it again eventually because I never did manage disk druid and finally just allowed the automated partitioning--yuck!!! So i'll probably go in and wrestle with it again eventually.
