>We're pleased to announce the release of new x86_64 and i386 installation
>media for the Speakup Modified Fedora Distribution. Once again we invite you
>to use our images and installation guidance to install Fedora 9, also known as
>"Sulphur," using your hardware speech synthesizer and the Speakup screen
>reader on your 32 or 64-bit computing system.  Downloadable images and
>documentation are available at our Internet address:
>
><http://SpeakupModified.Org>http://SpeakupModified.Org
>
>You can also access our files using ftp or rsync with commands like:
>
><ftp://ftp.SpeakupModified.Org/speakupmodified/fedora/>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-ibmtts, Orca, and the recently released
>Tiresias large-print fonts.  It's all there--in the installation
>*    images.
>
>*    Firefox-3, ready to use once your installation completes.
>
>*    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 Sulphur -- 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.
>
>The newly released Fedora 9 is the most accessible Fedora yet. We're
>pleased we can once again facilitate your installation of Fedora 
>without sighted
>assistance.
>
>Enjoy!
