List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 17 May 2008 18:34:02 -0000 Hi, I have become interested in getting myself an actual Linux partition on a hard drive once again as compared with virtual machines, and so was wondering what the status of software speech for installations was. I remember reading on this list that Fedora 9 could be installed with software speech, and that you need to look on the DVD for information on how to do this. The howtos on the speakupmodified.org site say you can't do this, but they're not yet up to date with FC9's installation. I was just curious if this is true? I guess I could install Ubuntu on this machine as well, but that doesn't natively include Speakup and I'm not sure of the extent to which they've patched their kernels, etc. Besides, I haven't played with Fedora before so it interests me. Any information would be appreciated. Best, Zack.
