OK. I'll try, but don't you mean you're installing Fedora?

No, that's not the way to skipp all the messages about drivers loading,
and various installation system functions launching. Learn to use
Speakup. Have you looked at the Speakup FAQ? Have you read our summary
about using Speakup in the SpeakupModified Fedora INstallation HOWTO?

More properly you should use the enter key on the numeric keypad to
silence Speakup. You won't miss the first installation screen. It'll be
there ready for you to review and respond to.

No, the disc checksums have nothing to do with Speakup. Apples and
hammers, totally not the same thing. Suggest you familiarize yourself
with Speakup better and then definitely do NOT turn the synth on and off
all the time.

Good. You are smart to give Linux it's own machine. That will prove very
helpful as you start learning to use Linux.
