Fedora 12 and speakup

[Georgina Joyce]

Hi Janina

Many thanks for your hard work.  I'll grab the files later.  I'm still
trying to work out why I can't get speakup working with software speech
as I want to put F12 on my notebook.  But on my test machine having
commenting out line 9 as advised on your website.  I'm not getting any
errors or speech.  as I've run mkinitrd and included the ltlk speakup
driver, the talkwith script appears to load things OK but I'm not
getting any speech.  Even though, I can play sound files nice and
loudly.

I wondered whether you considered republishing your previous howto's?  I
had to use google's cache to find them.  The first boot stuff and other
useful comments are still relevent.

four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:

    * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
    * The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your
needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
    * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
(freedom 2).
    * The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements
to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access
to the source code is a precondition for this.
