Re: [orca-list] Installing ESpeak for use with Gnome-speech in OpenSuSE 11.

[Georgina Joyce <gena mga demon co uk>]

Hi

Thanks for this.  What concerns me is taking things outside of yast, my
understanding was that yast can get really confused by this kind of
activity.  What can be done with .rpm's?  What if someone tried using
Fedora rpm's?  Isn't the original gnome-speech crushed by this set of
instructions?

Thanks
