the speakup install

[Ed Barnes]

Hi Jed:
No sir.
Actually the speakup modified Red Hat distribution for which I am 
eternally greatful to Bill and Janina for maintaining and making 
available to everyone doesn't work the way you've guessed, it's exactly 
the opposite.
It is designed such that a blind person can install Red Hat him or herself 
without assistance from a sighted person of any kind. 
The installation is quite strait forward and Janina has put a great deal 
of work into writing a wonderful howto for all to refer too so you will 
likely find it very beneficial to read this document before you install 
and if you get stuck of course you can always call on Bill who is very 
helpful to newbies such as you and I from my experience in corresponding 
with im via email and speaking to him on the telephone.
It has been my experience from reading Janina's howto which you can find 
on Speakup's web site that it will probably answer many of the questions 
you will have, however; if it doesn't answer something of course write to 
this list and or blinux-newbie at braille.uwo.ca if you subscribe to that 
list as well.
I hope this response is of some assistance and if I may be of more 
assistance to you feel free to contact me either directly on list or via 
direct email using my address below.
Best regards, good luck, and hope you end up enjoying Linux as much as I 
have in the 4 too 5 months I've been exploring and learning.
