List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, Mark: The Speakup keyboard is correct. Are you saying you select that and still don't have screen review on the numeric keypad? Do you have the installation HOWTO from: http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/redhat/HOWTO_INSTALL.html PS: Ignore all the iso and floppy images--and all the Red Hat manual links in this doc. I need to update those for Red Hat 8, which is indeed the current and correct choice vis a vis this HOWTO. PPS: Until the Speakup map is loaded, you will not have screen review. Be ware. There is a bug in one of the libraries that causes the cursor to appear to be on the selection ;immediately beyond the actual one that it's on in several of the installation screens. If unsure, double-check the attributes with NumericKeypad/Insert+Period. The color combination you get should accurately provide the true highlighted item.
