Hi, Steve: May I suggest you follow the installation suggestions of the HOWTO at: http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/fedora/HOWTO_INSTALL.html If you do the "everything" installation, as recommended in the HOWTO, you will get a working GNOME 2.4 that includes Gnome-Speech and Gnopernicus, howbeit a slightly older version. There are still additional steps to making it fully functional such as getting Sun's Java and making sure that Sun's Java RTK is used--but you do all of that later. As I suggested in a previous post, if you mean to be involved in Gnome accessibility development--which I would heartily welcome as would the wider community--you will soon want to be involved with more current releases of GNOME and GNOME Accessibility. While I hesitate to say "Go download yet another set of ISO images," the surest path to the current development state in GNOME Accessibility is the beta release of Fedora called Fedora Core 1.90 on the Fedora ftp mirror sites. Bill Acker does have kernels patched with Speakup ready to install for this beta environment at: http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/fedora/development/ Please note these are also available via anonymous ftp to www.linux-speakup.org.

I'm downloading the binary iso images right now so will give it a go tomorrow. While this next question may seem off-topic, I was wondering how one would go about installing Gnopernicus to work with the Gnome desktop. Someone, William I believe, mentioned that the Fedora distribution came with Gnopernicus. > Thanks, > Steve > > Stephen Clower, that guy from the south. > You can reach me by any of the following: > E-Mail: steve at steve-audio.net > MSN: steve at steve-audio.net > AIM: AudioRabbit03 > > You can also check out my little home on the web by visiting http://www.steve-audio.net > > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Janina Sajka Email: janina at rednote.net Phone: +1 (202) 408-8175 Director, Technology Research and Development American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) http://www.afb.org Chair, Accessibility Work Group Free Standards Group http://www.a11y.org
