Fedora 6 and Speakup on New Thinkpad

[Erik Heil]

Hello,
As far as installing Fedora 6 remotely, you can do so using telnet.  i.e. 
if you have access to another Windows box (better yet, a Linux box) you 
can do so via telnet.  Windows however would not be the best choice, as 
cursor control is broken as far as Jaws/Window Eyes is.  If you go through 
the archives, their have actually been posts on this very subject.  As I 
currently don't use Fedora (most of the machines are running some flavor 
of Sid), I can't speak from personal experience.
