fedora is toast.

fedora is toast.

[Linux for blind general discussion]

workstation live x86_64 version 24 torrent from fedora official site 
cannot take user or root credentials in the install and save them not even 
if advanced user settings are entered and save changes is used. Version 25 
workstation x86_64 turned out to have the same problem that I didn't get 
by bittorrent. Version 26 beta had screen reader get killed shortly after 
accept your fate button got hit. One good thing about version 24 was it 
took less time to get to the point I could start the screen reader than 
any of the other versions I tried. So now I move along to a different 
distro this one is toast.  I was only doing this because I could get some 
help with a web site creating an account from a sighted individual and I 
wasted two days with these failures.

well,
ubuntu still works (yeah, I know, this is the red hat list for the blind, but seriously, it should work, shouldn't it?).

I tried that option next.  I got zeniel release installed.  It even 
connected to the ubuntu home page with firefox and after I closed 
firefox I let zeniel installer run for a while.  I didn't hear anything 
so shut it down and rebooted the system.
I knew I was rolling the dice doing that but when systems don't talk to 
me after usually a reasonable time and sometimes unreasonable I tend to 
roll the dice.  Surprisingly the system booted and I logged in.
What happens now is that the screen reader shuts off a short time after 
login and I think I need to configure the system to fix that.
One thing that surprised me was login as super user prompts through the 
installer and I hit enter on them when those came up.
