Well Janina, reason of my not following instructions being is, the document at HYPERLINK "http://speakupmodified.org/HOWTO_INSTALL.html"http://speakupmodified.org/HO WTO_INSTALL.html Says, Version 6.0--Preliminary 11 July 2007 For use with the HYPERLINK "http://speakupmodified.org/"Speakup Modified Fedora Distribution, Version F-7 "Moonshine." Not 9. that's why. I don't follow old documentation that hasn't been updated since July 11 2007. Perhaps I should, but instructions given in that document don't work whatsoever with the exception of the part of, what to do when at the installation prompt for the first time if using a CD, DVD, or rescue image. Otherwise, all of the document seems out dated. If you could perhaps point me in the right direction, and explain how to get speakup to work at boot time I'd appreciate it. Despite my bitching and complaining, Speakup modified fedora is a good program. I guess I'm just not use to all these new changes and no new documentation to go with them. That'd be like a company releasing a product and not providing updated help files for it. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
