installing archlinux, get lynx accessible first
I had a read through the Installation_guide script and discovered it uses lynx to bring the guide up on the screen. I'm a screen reader user so whenever I use lynx and certain other console browsers I set certain options then save me a .lynxrc file before using lynx further. Two really critical options are show cursor on so my screen reader can track where I am on the screen and links and form fields are numbered so I can find links to run. Others are there too but for me these are most critical. Once the .lynxrc file is saved reading through the installation_guide for me is much better. elinks and links can show numbered links but their configuration is a bit different. So for screen reader users who find numbered links in lynx the cat useful, before running Installation_guide get lynx configured so it runs well for you. I did this on a flash drive so my .lynxrc got saved for future use. Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Hi Jude, do you mind opening a ticket towards archiso [1] for this? We can include a configuration file in the releng profile. Best, David [1] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/ -- https://sleepmap.de
The website is unuseable with lynx. I tried to get a password reset email and got error 400 instead. I used aur credentials to log in after hitting that archlinux sso button.

That's a known GitLab issue, unfortunately. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/26567 nl6720
If there are any graphical captchas in that registration that have to be solved, screen reader users whether using text browsers like lynx or graphical browsers like firefox cannot register since screen readers don't read graphics especially captchas. I know of one captcha provider that uses math problems written in text to solve but so far as I know, only D.O.D. is using that company's services. If memory serves, text-captchas.com was the name of the company. Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
