I'm working for Novell and they want me using Suse 9.3 and in a few days v10. SSH might be an alternative though but I'll probably have to bring my laptop into work every day. I basically want to use yast. I have a 40 cell Braille display and my Braille reading is very out of practise and thus very slow. I have to be able to use yast. unfortunately the applications and settings they use keep changing and I need to be able to install them as quick and as easilly as possible. -----Original message----- From: Janina Sajka janina@xxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 15:37:46 +0100 To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: Need to install speakup on Suse 9.3 > I don't follow your logic, Darragh.

I really need to get speakup installed and I'm hoping someone here can tell me how possible this will be. I'm using brltty at the moment but it doesn't work with the text based version of yast so I'm running into a dead end as far as that's concerned. > > > > Any help greatly appreciated. > > > > > > Darragh > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Speakup mailing list > > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > > -- > > Janina Sajka Phone: +1.202.494.7040 > Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com > Bringing the Owasys 22C screenless cell phone to the U.S. and Canada.
