Care For A Little Moonshine?

[Georgina Joyce]

Hi

No problem.  I wondered if you could offer any advice as I can't install here.  Because we had a magazine with the Fedora 7 DVD, I thought I'd just need the boot.iso and use the free magazine standard Fedora DVD.  Unfortunately, when I place the DVD in the drive the booted talking modified version does not recognise the DVD, stating the 2 don't match.  So I copied all the rpm's in the Fedora directory of the DVD onto a partition and pointed the talking installer to that mount point but it looks for a dot iso image so can't see the rpm's.  Does this mean I have to download everything from yourselves?  Might I get away with just downloading the first CDRom?  Or just get a basic install via http or ftp?
 
What do you suggest?

Thanks!

Thanks for this catch. I've modified the HOWTO to include this info.

After down arrow and tab, you need to press the spacebar, as the predefined command line is right up to the cursor so when you type speakup_synth the loader is being given textspeakup_synth.  Strangely enough, it still boots but without speech.
