speakup, redhat install, and comments

Ok, I've got several comments with speakup and installing redhat.

I'm taking a linux system administration class, and durring the install of
redhat I've noticed that the cursor does not track at all. It tracks just
enough to make things frustrating I should say. For example. when it asks
you for a language, I went to where speakup said english, and it was
actually in french, on the keyboard, I went to what speakup said was the
speakupmap, and in fact, it was the speakup laptop keymap. When I got to
partisioning the harddrive I got to the point where the teacher read the
rest of the install. You can't  partision a harddrive if you have no clue
wtf you are on the screen. Once the install is over things run fine, but
the install is my bigest issue. If speakup tracked right in the install, I
think there would be a lot less problems.

I'm curious to know if anyone knows of a way around this. I'll probably do
several mor installs before this class is over, and really need a solution
to this. I tried using  insert numpad enter to quiet speakup, and that
didn't really improve things. I didn't try the cursor tracking, though I
suspect that that wouldn't have helped much at this point. anyone have any
ideas?
