New to the list

[Janina Sajka]

You should use the FC4 disks, if you can. However, neither the stock
FC4, nor the stock FC3 will provide you with a speaking installation.
The exception is setting up installation via telnet:

You should also follow the instructions in the Speakup Modified
INstallation HOWTO:

Of course, you can always just spend $10 for a set of Speakup Modified
FC3 disks from Cheap Bytes.
