speakup/install failed

[Janina Sajka]

Rich:

If you're able to download the iso images at
ftp://speakup.octothorp.org, you'll be ahead of the game. Bill Acker has
patched speakup into the current Redhat install very nicely. You'll get
a fully accessible install--well except for the first prompt where there
is no speech and you have to indicate your synthesizer. But after that
prompt, the install is accessible and the speech is built in. It's by
far the easiest coarse. I heartily recommend it.
