Re: [orca-list] talking gdm with orca in fedora

Installing a console screen reader doesn't daunt me.  I thought the
one you wrote was quite nice actually, if I may say so.  I think the
Gnome version they use is like 2.28 or something like that.
Automating the installation is a bit more daunting to me since I know
next to nothing about the packages, organization ETC. of RHEL at this
time other than what can be learned from the odd book or two that
covers the older versions of Rhel.
