However, it did not work with my first installation cd, but this is probably because my installation cds are from September. I am in the process of downloading and burning the first current speakup-FC2 cd to see whether this brltty.iso works with it. The error I got when I tried to use my first cd was:
"no fedora cd found: no cd was found that matches your boot media
so I believe this means that each time you update Speakup on the site you must also update the brltty.iso.
two caveats:
there has been a bug that caused some strange problems with data flow through the braille display halting until a key was pressed when speakup and brltty were used together. so either make sure this bug is squashed or advise people not to boot the installation with both speakup and brltty.
Second, I did get the following warnings when making the brltty.iso (using brltty-3.5.tar.gz since that was the stable version):

Hth, though I'm sure you all are way ahead of me and probably know all this.
