FC3 for x86_64?

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Liz:

Several of us are running Speakup Modified on x86_64 platforms,
including yours truly. However, there are not any up to date iso images
for speech enabled installation of x86_64. In fact, there are still no
x86_64 kernels with Speakup for FC4 because attempts at compiling have
to date been unsuccessful. It has proven possible to use a Speakup
Modified kernel for FC3 on an FC4 installation, and this appears to be
quite stable but may not be what you want.

In short, the best way right now to install FC for x86_64 with speech is
to do an installation over telnet. This does provide speech during the
installation process, but it requires a second machine to control the
installation (obviously). This would be true whether you decide to
install FC3 or FC4 for x86_64. I would, speaking for myself, use FC4 and
either bring in a Sp[eakup Modified kernel from FC3 following a
successful install, or just drive the system over ssh.
