Hello, I've being waiting for the release of Fedora 1.0 since early October as I was told by numerous people that it would have gnopernicus pree configured. Now that the speakup modified version is up I'm just dying to download it and have a good root around. However, I'm going to try to do the sensible thing first and spend the first few days reading up on installation howtos and FAQ's. Can any one suggest a few? I'm hoping to set up the following: Fedora 1.0 with speakup. Gnome with the Gnopernicus screen reader. Some of the Gnopernicus supported applications. Emacspeak W3. Vm. I'm also hoping to use FTP to connect to the laptop which is running win 2000. I have a linksys router which can act as a dhcp server as well. They all connect with no problems in windows. Oh, just one more thing, what do they mean by pree configured? That sounds like a simpol question, feel free to laugh at my lack of experience. Any suggestions very welcome Darragh
