Red Hat Enterprise 6.2

Hi all,

      Sadly, I must concur with all that has been said here, at least the 
negative stuff. I couldn't get them to turn Speakup on in the Fedora 
kernel, even though the modules are right there in staging. Happily, 
there's an organization called RPM Fusion. They provide add on modules for 
Fedora that the Fedora project won't include. They were happy to build the 
Speakup modules for their staging package. I build Fedora 18 with the 
stuff from RPM Fusion and can make it available to anyone who wants it. 
Installation would require a kickstart script, or the dreaded sighted 
assistance. I know that this doesn't help with RHEL, but since Fedora was 
mentioned, I thought I'd chime in.

           Hope this helps someone.
