Hi Darragh, "Paul, firstly are you still having problems with the FSTab? " Thanks for the suggestion but I have it sorted by using the linux emergancy disk and then I edited the Fstab file in /etc. "I too tried Solaris a few months ago as I really wanted to begin messing around with the Orca screen reader. Its an alternative to the first screen reader gnopernicus which was created for the Gnome window manager. To my delight though Orca works really well on FC 5 and installing it and its dependancies was a lot easier than I expected. Even updating the package using CVS has been made easy and later versions of Orca are configurable using a new GUI. " Yes, I agree with you about orca. I have it working grat on my linux system here and it is much better than gnopernicus. I did have some issues in the beginning setting it up but after downloading many updates and configuring some files I got to work well for me now. Thanks again for your input. Paul.
