I couldn't get them to turn Speakup on in the Fedora kernel, even though the modules are right there in staging. Happily, there's an organization called RPM Fusion. They provide add on modules for Fedora that the Fedora project won't include. They were happy to build the Speakup modules for their staging package. I build Fedora 18 with the stuff from RPM Fusion and can make it available to anyone who wants it. Installation would require a kickstart script, or the dreaded sighted assistance. I know that this doesn't help with RHEL, but since Fedora was mentioned, I thought I'd chime in. Hope this helps someone. -- Bill in Denver On Fri, 29 Mar 2013, Tony Baechler wrote: > Umm, why?
