Same FC3 CD boot problem!

[David Bruzos]

Hello Janina:
I will download the official FC3 disc1.iso and test the machines that 
will not boot with the speakup-modified distro.  I will send a message 
to the list letting everyone know what I found out.  However, I don't 
think that I will find the same problem, because I have not seen many 
reports of this type of thing on the Internet.  I have the DVD version 
of the official FC3 and it boots just fine.

I just need some time to do the download...

Thanx!

David B.
