However, neither the stock FC4, nor the stock FC3 will provide you with a speaking installation. The exception is setting up installation via telnet: https://www.redhat.com/archives/blinux-list/2005-August/msg00038.html You should also follow the instructions in the Speakup Modified INstallation HOWTO: http://speakupModified.org/HOWTO_INSTALL.html Of course, you can always just spend $10 for a set of Speakup Modified FC3 disks from Cheap Bytes.
