Re: [orca-list] help with fedora 19 speech at login window

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Hmm ... Thanks for the answer.  I was thinking of the live image method.  I
don't know what a kick start file is and I am not currently running any
version of Fedora.  I wanted to try it out on a virtual machine.  Debian and
Ubuntu have spoiled me completely.  I want to be able to pop a CD in the
drive, hit a key or a key combination, hear e-speak begin to yammer at me
and then just be able to carry on with the installation much as a sighted
person would if handed the CD to try out.  Pity that's not possible.

Well, that depends on your parameters, including comfort level with advanced
skills.

If you can write (or correctly edit) a kick start file, the answer is "yes,
it can."

If you have a working Fedora 18, the answer is "yes, it can. Use 'yum
distro-upgrade.'" This is the path I took last week.

People on the Orca list have previously reported success using the Live
Fedora image. I have no direct success with that myself, unfortunately.

I can tell you that work is in progress to revive text-based installations.
I will report on this when I have more definite answers.
