RH7.2 w/Speakup enabled

[Janina Sajka]

Amanda:

A file list, or more probably a proper web page frontend to the files on 
the directory tree is definitely in the works.

I'[m sorry you're having problems recognizing the iso images. But, I also 
don't understand, exactly, because the images are files which end with 
.iso. The two you need for an installation are enigma-i386-disc?.iso where 
? equals 1 and 2 respectively.

Also, there is a draft HOWTO in the directory abov, namely in 
pub/speakup/disks/redhat about installing called HOWTO-INSTALL.html. As I 
said, it's a draft and comments would be appreciated. As a draft, some of 
the linkx in this html are not yet working properly.
