[Scott Berry]

Hello there list,

My name is Scott and I found out about this distribution of Linux 
yesterday while reading a newsgroup.  I have a couple of questions 
however, first of all I am totally blind and need access to the 
screen.  Have you looked at implementing Speakup a screen reading 
program which can be found at http://www.linux-speakup.org.  To get 
the tar ball you may go to ftp://ftp.braille.uwo.ca and find it 
there.  Secondly, would you be able to include Brltty for those of us 
who do not have a serial port because once we install Brltty we could 
then begin to use Brltty right away.  You may find Brltty at 
http://dave.mielke.cc.  I really think this would be 
great.  Secondly, could there be a question in your installation 
which says something like:  Do you need to use Braille and speech 
devices? (Please remember that speech and braille devices installed 
only work under the text console, however, you may find Gnopernicus 
once you have installed the system.)  I think this would make things 
much better as for disabilities.
