[David Andrews]

>
>We're pleased to announce the release of new installation media for 
>the Speakup
>Modified Fedora Distribution. Once again we invite you to use our images and
>installation guidance to install Fedora Core 8, also known as 
>"Werewolf," using
>your hardware speech synthesizer and the Speakup screen reader.  Downloadable
>images and documentation are available at our Internet address:
>
>http://SpeakupModified.Org
>
>You can also access our files using ftp or rsync with commands like:
>
>ftp://ftp.SpeakupModified.Org/speakupmodified/fedora/
>rsync -l speakupmodified.org::speakupmodified
>
>The Speakup Modified Fedora provides:
>
>*       installation media adapted expressly for
>    those blind computer users who want to use the Speakup Linux screen reader
>to install a Fedora-style Linux on their computers. This means that the blind
>computer user will not require sighted assistance, and that the end result
>will be an installation that talks every time it is booted.
>
>*       Other assistive technology including Brltty, Emacspeak, 
>Espeak, Gnome-Speech-Espeak, and Orca.
>*       It's all there--in the installation images.
>
>*       Fast and robust Internet connections on our hosted servers, so
>*       that your downloads can proceed at maximum speed
>
>*       Our acclaimed HOWTO to guide you through the installation
>*       process, including setup for Fedora's accessible graphical desktop.
>
>*       A mini-howto about using telnet to install Werewolf -- particularly
>*       useful for users who do not have hardware speech synthesizers.
>
>*       A yum repository so you can update your Speakup Modified Fedora
>*       distribution the easy way--overnight in your sleep, for instance.
>
>*       Additional accessible applications such as the new Firefox 3 Beta
>
>The newly released Fedora Core 8 is the most accessible Fedora yet. We're
>pleased we can once again facilitate your installation of Fedora 
>without sighted
>assistance.
>
>Enjoy!
