at a loss

He can use the rescue portion of the install disk to also have speech to fix
the problem.

Also,
If you download something like Knoppix, you can boot up to the CD, without
installing, and know if it is the DecTalk causing the problems.

Just because you can't get fedora installed, doesn't mean you should
give up on installing gnu/linux. After all, fedora is not the only
gnu/linux distribution out there. There are also:

slackware: <http://www.slackware.com/>,

debian: <http://www.debian.org/>,

gentoo: <http://www.gentoo.org/>

just to name a few. The best thing of course would be if a fedora user
was able to help you solve your problems, and get up and
running. However, if that doesn't happen, look at other distributions
before deciding to quit on gnu/linux. The good news is that there are
slackware, debian, and gentoo users on here as well.
