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.
