I have a spare computer that's not at all busy, so thought I'd install Linux along with Speakup. I acquired a Doubletalk internal synthesizer for this purpose. I was going to download the modified Fedora distribution, but each file would take more than a week to download. So, I grabbed the regular distribution of Fedora FC3. Now, here are my questions. First, what is the difference, specifically as it deals with the speech aspect. I emailed the contact on the Modified Fedora page, but have not heard back from him regarding mirrors for that distribution. Second, do I have everything I need to start? Can speech be invoked during the installation process? Next, I also pulled the Fedora 4 distribution, FC4 disks 1-4. Should I use those instead? Thanks for all your help in advanced. Sorry if I'm asking truly basic questions here. Dave
