Try pressing control-alt-f1 and see if you have speech at a console. If so, you can sign on and modify your runlevel in /etc/inittab. Have not installed a Fedora for years, so things might have changed. HTH, Willem On Thu, 8 Nov 2007, Albert E. Sten-Clanton wrote: > Greetings! > > I'm not sure enough to answer your other questions. On the CD's, though, the installation never asked me for all five, even when I selected everything for installation. I didn't want or need what's on the fifth CD, but this does seem strange nonetheless. > > Al > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "William Rivera" <billmyster at the-beach.net> > To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> > Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 10:11 PM > Subject: Hello > > > > Hi all, I just joined the list and am a newbie at Linux. I installed Fedora 7 Moonshine on my old P-3 machine using a Lite Talk (ltlk) synth. The pc has a 10Gb hard drive with 512Mb RAM. I can install the minimum Fedora system minus the graphical packages with no problems. It boots into a console and all seems well. Problem is that when I re-install the system and select all packages including graphical packages, it only asks for the first 4 cds and then after I follow all steps to prevent it from loading the initial first start graphic mode, it does not speak. One question is, does the installation ask for all 5 cds? Also, should I just install minimum and use Yum to update all packages instead? Is 10gb enough memory for everything and is that why I can not get the system to speak when I install all packages? > > > > Thanks for your help. > > > > Bill > > Miami Beach, FL > > Billmyster at the-beach.net > > _______________________________________________ > > Speakup mailing list > > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > > > > > > -- > > No virus found in this incoming message. > > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > > Version: 7.5.503 / Virus Database: 269.15.24 - Release Date: 11/7/2007 12:00 AM > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > -- This message is subject to the CSIR's copyright terms and conditions, e-mail legal notice, and implemented Open Document Format (ODF) standard.
