List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, well, it is a vary complicated issue. Red Hat is comited to accessibility. The problem was that speakup broke several things in Red Hat and no one at Red Hat informed the proper places, and after much screaming and debate they decided to pull it blaming speakup for the problems. Had been speakup been an exyternal package such as emacspeak it would be there, but since it is kernel based, and does at times interfear with the distribution it can get in the way if not handled properly. ----- Original Message ----- From: Darrell Shandrow To: Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2003 12:21 PM Subject: Re: Red Hat 9.0 iso iamges > Hi Keith, > > Wonder why Speakup was removed from the beta cycle?
