Re: [orca-list] Espeak rashes in Fedora 18 after Friday's updates

[Al Sten-Clanton <albert e sten_clanton verizon net>]

Dave, I think I can answer one question:  a look at my updates yesterday 
seemed to show that espeak was one of them.  (This is consistent with 
what you replied to my "strange update" message, though it doesn't tell 
us why the update should screw things up.)

I don't seem to be having the kind of espeak crashes you mention.  One 
problem I do have since getting Speakup working is that the software 
speech often responds to reading keys slower than a glacier.

Did you install Fedora without sighted assistance?  That is, can we mere 
insignificant blind folks finally use the installer?
