Re: FC-6 speakup install failures

hmmm,

I'm sure the packages themselves are perfectly good else why would the media check pass? I suspect you well could be correct in suspecting the fedora text mode installation. I've seen examples of kickstart scripts before and can read them and describe what's being done. Perhaps it might be useful to put one of these together and release it to the speakup community if I can get it to work along with configuration instructions for variables others may need to change.

I believe Dave Mielke provides a boot.iso image which contains brltty
support so that you can install using braille. That image would
undoubtedly serve only the default Fedora iso images, however it will
get you going. The only cost is that you'll have a major updating with
yum--but that's certainly not the end of the world.

Once your Fedora is installed and updated, you can retrieve the
SpeakupModified kernels and configure software speech. This approach
should indeed work.

Hello!
When using the speakup install of fedora 6 can I use the braillefied
installer to install?
I have no hardware speech, but I want to use the cepstral voice I have with
speech dispatcher.

Also, is there a dvd image available for the speakup modified fc6?

These errors are not actual fact. What I mean is that you can, and we
have, determined that the packages which appear to cause the failure are
actually present and pass their checksums. So, something else is going
on. In fact, if you rerun the installation with the same media on the
same machine, you're likely to run into a different error, or no error
at all. And, of course, others of us have installed from these same
images without incident.

It would be extremely helpful to know if the problem occurs with the
stock Fedora disks (or not). I am not aware that there has been much
testing of
text mode installation in Fedora. Most users installing interactively
are using the graphical installer. Most others are doing "kick start"
scripted installs.

these happened on both an old Dell machine circa 1999 a dimension dsx I

on the same file and does so on different files when install office
productivity is unchecked.  Then it happens on vim-enhanced.  What it is
is a claim that a disk is corrupt and a request to insert disk -99 on a
retry.  Fedora didn't make that many disks.  Also, the media check was
run
on every disk I downloaded with some very aggressive integrity checking
options in rsync from that site.  wget -b FC-6-*.iso did not download any
changes or additions either.  I am not unique in having this problem but
may be unique in terms of the quantity and diversity of machines this
error happens on consistently.  The amd athelon-64 emulates 32-bit
operations well enough to run windows xp when I have the windows xp disk
inserted.  Given operating system conflicts I've opted for the use of
drive sleds to prevent anymore fighting.
