Liz Hare @ ` Janina Sajka ` Chris Norman ` Liz Hare 0 siblings, 2 replies; 16+ messages in thread From: Janina Sajka @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Hi, Liz: Several of us are running Speakup Modified on x86_64 platforms, including yours truly. However, there are not any up to date iso images for speech enabled installation of x86_64. In fact, there are still no x86_64 kernels with Speakup for FC4 because attempts at compiling have to date been unsuccessful. It has proven possible to use a Speakup Modified kernel for FC3 on an FC4 installation, and this appears to be quite stable but may not be what you want. In short, the best way right now to install FC for x86_64 with speech is to do an installation over telnet. This does provide speech during the installation process, but it requires a second machine to control the installation (obviously). This would be true whether you decide to install FC3 or FC4 for x86_64. I would, speaking for myself, use FC4 and either bring in a Sp[eakup Modified kernel from FC3 following a successful install, or just drive the system over ssh.

Yes, Chris. That's precisely how you do it. Here's an example which supplies the static address 192.168.1.11 to the machine where FC is to be installed using that machines second ethernet device: At the boot> prompt you would type something like: text telnet ip=192.168.1.11 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.254 ksdevice=/dev/eth1 Obviously, this goes on one line and needs to be adjusted for local circumstances. PS: You can also add this syntax in advance when booting from a USB stick. Just insert it all in the kernel arguments in the proper stanza of syslinux.cfg, and change the top line to say "default text" Chris Norman writes: > How do you do a telnet install? > > I mean, would I stick the disks in, start the install and then telnet? > > Cheers, > > Chris Norman. > > <!-- chris.norman4@ntlworld.com --> > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Janina Sajka" <janina@rednote.net> > To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> > Sent: Friday, August 05, 2005 3:50 PM > Subject: Re: FC3 for x86_64? > > > >Hi, Liz: > > > >Several of us are running Speakup Modified on x86_64 platforms, > >including yours truly.

No, you got the wrong IP, so it's hard to know whether you got the concept. To stick with my example, you would: telnet 192.168.1.11 The address 192.168.1.11 is the address of the machine where you're installing Fedora. Since it's telnet, whatever speech you would be using would depend on the system you're telnetting from, as always with telnet. If that happens to be Windows, then it will be your Windows screen reader.

Not sure what you mean by "how far." It will talk through the entire installation, certainly. Can you then use a telnet connection to your linux system for daily use? Of course. However, you will have some issues finishing the installation. Telnet is not enabled by default. You can certainly enable it, so that it's available on every boot, but you'll have to configure that from a LInux console, and for security reasons, you should restrict it to internal lan use only--to a non routable ip, for instance.

You would think so, but I believe it does want those specified--even though you're unlikely even to use the gateway. This is an installer, remember, not a full fledged OS.

Thanks, Janina, I don't mind having FC3 at all at this point... I knew FC4 wasn't available, but wondered if I needed separate ISO images for 64-bit, and it looks from your message like I do... thanks very much for your help.

Well, the x86_64 platform is a bit of a strange beast. You could install i386 on it, or x86_64. Either would work. If you want native 64 bit execution, though, you'd go with the x86_64. I suppose you'll want that if you intend to crunch lots of numbers! <grin> I feel bad about sending you to FC3 for x86_64. The amount of updating following the installation will be truly prodigious.Any reason you shouldn't just do FC4? That's only two months of upgrades, versus 9 months for FC3.

I'm really confused about this process-- I'm installing a whole new Linux, here, and am not sure how to proceed. I see that in the directory for FC3 there is a subdirectory for x86_64. Should I install the regular version first from the ISO's and then add the rpms in the x86_64 after that? Or do I somehow need to create install disks with the x86_64 rpms?

I do see that there are none such on the Speakup site. Can you do a telnet install? Forgetting for the moment that you may not have done that before, do you have a second machine that can be used to control the process with speech?

* Installing Speakup on FC4 ` Janina Sajka ` Liz Hare @ ` Liz Hare 1 sibling, 0 replies; 16+ messages in thread From: Liz Hare @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Hello, I'm having to install speakup on FC4 myself rather than use a speakup-modified distribution because I have a 64 bit setup. I am having trouble getting the install script to work following the directions in the installation file. Redhat has some different conventions when it comes to locations for source code and stuff. I've followed the directions, making a symlink /usr/src/linux, but the install program isn't finding what it needs. I've tried pointing the symlink to different levels of the tree with no luck. Also, the install program reports that it can't find a Makefile it needs and I have no idea where it's supposed to be! Is there anywhere I can read about where all this stuff goes and how to get it to work? I'm having to borrow eyeballs to work on this and it's frustrating and would be nice to get it fixed soon so I can solve all the other problems I'm having like getting the network card working, etc.!
