Hello, thanks to Chuck Moss, we now have i386 Fedora packages for Speech Dispatcher, speechd-up and festival-freebsoft-utils (also the required libdotconf package is now available). They include tha latest releases of the software (0.6.1, 0.3 and 0.6 respectively). Instalation of these components on Fedora Core systems should now be much simpler. The packages are available here: http://mirror.mossc.com/mirror/cnsi/testing/RPMS/ Any help with testing them is appreciated. More detailed instructions how to install Speech Dispatcher as given by Chuck Moss follow: cd /etc/yum.repos.d sudo wget http://mirror.mossc.com/mirror/cnsi/testing/1mossc-com.repo rpm --import http://mirror.mossc.com/mirror/cnsi/testing/RPM-GPG-KEY-cnsi sudo yum install speech-dispatcher Instalation of speechd-up should be analogical. With regards, Hynek Hanke
