Hi, Looking at the cheapbytes store, I found that fedora core 4 was also in 
a dvd format.  When the speakup version is released, can you also please 
make it in a dvd iso and or dvd from cheapbytes?  It is a lot easier to 
leave one disk in the drive for the entire installation and go away and do 
other things with not wondering when I will need to put the next disk in it 
and go back and check.   Also, I tried to download and install speakup2.0 on 
the 2.6.12 kernel when it was stable and a lot of the patches failed.  So, I 
am going to just stick with the fedora core 3 kernel untill version 4 is 
ready because I see no sense in building another kernel when I will just 
have to rebuild and install it again.  Is there a way to upgrade to fedora 
core 4 with out rebooting the system and not keeping any old versions of 
packages and installing everything else so I have the entire os?  I have a 
80 GB drive with a 512 MB swap and the rest one linux primary partition.  I 
also found a bug in the dectalk express driver for speakup.  I will be 
typing normal and then type a capital letter and then the dectalk express 
drops in pitch as soon as I type it, the letter next and all other speech is 
lower pitches and I need to turn off and back on or set the pitch back.  bye
