I've got 0/0 vision so can't help you out any further.
Good morning! :-)

Hi Henrik,
Having just been at the GNOME Summit (and GNOME Accessibility Summit
Day) last week, I very much appreciate the flexibility of being able to
pull together a discussion any day of the conference, as ideas gel (and

Hi All
A bad news, good news story.
I have spent the past 6 hours with a very experienced sighted hand trying to
install Ubuntu onto my PC. Firstly, the CD, which was burned today, ran
well as a Live CD. However, we hit a major problem with the install onto
the PC.
The PC set up was a Windows
How was your bios set up, did you have disc type set to dos? If so that
may have been the problem, ubuntu so far as I know is the only Linux
flavor that needs disc type set to other and not dos.
