This is mostly a report of a yet unanswered post in fedora-list. Some blind dude asked for help with some tech I have never come accross. It seems neither has the majority of the people over on fedora-list. So I am posting here hoping you guys can give this dude some help. And also to ask what is Fedora doing about accessibility? I am without any such hindrancies myself. But recently "accessibility" was used as a case against OO.org in a US state, Google, is develpoing a version of their web search which ranks accessibie pags high, and fedoraproject.org seems to have no pages on accessibility. Seeing as the "Speakup" tech was present in FC3, I now know it is possible (I didn't before). Any idea how comes it is gone? It was a bit too generic a word for my Google kung fu. Peace [Message from OP] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To be updated... -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
