Re: [orca-list] Accessible Installation, not Ubuntu



José, 

Further to writing that blog post, I can now report that the wireless card still did not work out of the box 
in Fedora.   It took a lot of messing around to get it.  Well, it did until  found a really simple solution.  

What card are you using?  Is it one of the Broadcom cards? 

Installing Fedora can certainly be done without sighted assistance.  Visit www.speakupmodified.org and look 
at the howto there.  You'll need to download their well prepared Speakup modified Fedora images though and 
from here anyway, I always get a very slow download rate.  Pity their not hosted on heanet.ie or something 
like that... 

The only thing with installing Fedora with speakup is for the moment, you still need a hardware synthesizer.  

If you have Braille, you could look at OpenSuSE 11 from DVD or the Live CD with Gnome is also accessible.

Hi,
I heard about fedora 9 but I'm not sure. I'd like to hear about this 
subject because in my first try with Ubuntu I had problems with my 
wireless connection.
Perhaps another distro could help. I read something about this in the 
following URL:

Good morning,

Is there a linux distro, other than Ubuntu, that has an accessible
installer?

Thanks,
