Hi, Andrew.
I am currently running gnopernicus on a Mandrake
9.2 system with festival and Dectalk Software.
How I did the install was I copied all the
necessary rpms with dependancies for festival and gnopernicus from my Powerpack
cd's to a backup drive.
Then, my wife read the Mandrake 9.2 installation to
me. when the installation was finished as root I opened gnome-terminal,
used cd to switch to my directory where the gnopernicus rpms was, used rpm to do
a batch install of all the packages.
After that I opened run using
alt+f2, typed gnopernicus, answered yes to assistive technology
support, and gnopernicus ran.
I can send you installation notes on how to do
the installation on Mandrake 9.2 with packages to do the job, or I can remotely
do the installation on a fresh mandrake 9.2 system if you would
like.
If you want further information you can contact me

Subject: Linux distros with gnome speech
reading capabilities included
Does anyone know
if there any linux distributions available with gnopernicus installed and
usable after installation?
I am currently
trying to use the latest slackware distro, that has gnome-speech and
gnopernicus included with it,
but I cannot get
it to work at all. The speech will not work, at least. I have been
working on this project for a month
now (I am a linux
newbie) with no luck whatsoever. I have also tried getting it to work on
Mandrake 9, and could not
even get
gnopernicus to run the configure script all the way through.
If anyone out
there is in the northern NJ area, and has successfully set up screen reading
in linux and is very comfortable with it,
I would be open to
hire a consultant to get this up and running for our
organization.
