Re: Intro and gnopernicus question

["Willem van der Walt<willem top health gov za>" <willem top health gov za>]

Hello,
Just to confirm, enabling the accessability key worked just as you said.
Gnopernicus now speaks. Just one other question, do one need to
recompile the standard applications like mozilla before they will speak?
The things in the gnome desktop seems to talk, but none of the 
applications that i
have tryed does.
Most of them are not the very latest versions and are those that were 
installed
by rpm from Redhat 9.
TIA
Willem
