Nice to see Arch being used by blind users. Good job, Chris.
Wow! I commend you Jude for your shear moxie in getting a Linux distro up and running which is no small task for people with 20/20 vision. And the setup from Chris, I'll have to check that out. Just thinking out what that would entail, from the initial boot, the install and finally to a running OS without the sight sense, that is nothing short of incredible. How do you do it? Seriously, what tools are available that, I guess in some sense, must speak the prompts so you know what's going on? Just curious more than anything else. The only thing I can think of is some type of modification to the prompt that would process the prompt though an OCR utility and then to a text-to-speech app, but what about before that setup is installed? That's pretty amazing and sounds like some cool technology. Best of luck and if you need any help, just ask -- or type. (although by the sound of it, I may be the one asking you for help). -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
