The Speakup Modified Fedora Distribution version of Fedora 7, = "Moonshine," is now available. Once again we invite you to use our images and = installation guidance to install Fedora 7, also known as "Moonshine," using your = hardware speech synthesizer and the Speakup screen reader. Downloadable images = and documentation are available at our Internet address: http://SpeakupModified.Org You can also access the Speakup Modified Fedora files using ftp and = rsync with commands such as: ftp://ftp.SpeakupModified.Org/speakupmodified/fedora/ rsync -l speakupmodified.org::speakupmodified Please note that this initial release of the Speakup Modified Fedora 7 = has not yet been fully tested. We welcome all reports of success or of failures = with this new, highly revised installation media. The Speakup Modified Fedora provides: * installation media adapted expressly for those blind computer users who want to use the Speakup Linux screen = reader to install a Fedora-style Linux on their computers. This means that the = blind computer user will not require sighted assistance, and that the end = result will be an installation that talks every time it is booted. * Other assistive technology including brltty, emacspeak,, and orca. * It's all there--in the installation images. * A preliminary revision of our famous Installation HOWTO to guide the * novice and the advanced user through the installation process. * A new mini-howto on using telnet to install the Speakup Modified at: http://SpeakupModified.Org/telnet_installation.html But the Speakup Modified is much more than just installation media. We = now also provide: * Support for TTSynth, the premier text to speech synthesizer for Linux, * both on the console and the graphical desktop. See http://TTSynth.Com to learn more. * Regular builds of Firefox 3 providing industry leading accessible * web browsing. * A yum repository so you can update your Speakup Modified Fedora * distribution the easy way--overnight in your sleep, for instance. In * addition, there's a new Quick Tips file for using yum: http://SpeakupModified.Org/yumming * Both 32-bit and 64-bit packages. * Fast and robust Internet connections on our new hosted servers, so * that your downloads can proceed at maximum speed In the very near future we will also provide: * A Help Wiki and mini HOWTOs on various Linux topics that you can use = both to learn from and also to share your own expertise with others. We know we've said this before--but it's absolutely true yet again! = rTthe newly released Fedora 7 is the most accessible Fedora yet. We're pleased we = can once again facilitate your installation of Fedora without sighted assistance. = And, we're pleased to facilitate your access to package updates as well as a = first class accessible console and graphical desktop Linux experience.
