Re: [orca-list] Orca and terminal text editors

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

Is there a good modern guide for running Speakup on Fedora? I've googled 
and found Speakup-*modified* Fedora, but I'm happy enough with the 
generic install that I don't really want to switch distributions. Can it 
not be packaged via akmods like other kernel modules?


Sorry, I acknowledge this isn't Orca-related. I promise not to ask a 
bunch of Speakup questions, and I'm fairly competent enough to follow 
even vague Linux directions without guidance. I just don't want to join 
a separate mailing list to, essentially, post just this message and 
nothing else. :)


Thanks.
