Re: installation documentation

[Vikram <neurospora@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for a fast feedback, I actually just installed eflite and tested the
installation, things are fine.  But, I am just stuck at the step where you
tell emacspeak to direct speech output via Eflite.  This might sound very
dumb, but I cannot find my emacspeak.conf in /etc/.  I installed Emacspeak
19.0 from rpm and the system told me that it was installed successfully, so
how is my emacspeak.conf is missing?

Thanks
Vikram
