The purpose for the web page is to make the instructions available to anyone
that has an interest. My only concern is that I have not had the chance to
verify the instructions yet. I will attempt to do this on another computer
soon. However, this is difficult since I need to crawl to the other
computers.

Dear Donald
Many thanks for all your path finding and hard work.
I think this may be an important development for visually impaired
computer
users.
2 questions.
1. Could I share this information with the British computer association of
the blind mailing list?
2. does anybody from the UK on the list know if it is possible to buy
Image for windows in the UK without having to use a credit Card? I had a
look at a couple of sites selling the software after following your link
and
it seems they require a Credit Card. I have a UK Debit card and have
avoided Credit Cards for about 20 years after getting my fingers burnt
with
debt. I can of course use PayPal.
Regards
David Griffith

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond on this topic. I have been
having
health and technical problems.
To be more exact, I have written down instructions for creating a bootable
version of Vinux 2.1 as a Live DVD or USB Pen Drive (also called a Flash
drive or memory stick; I wish there was a standard term) that has Image
for
Linux installed. The instructions can be viewed or downloaded from the
following web page:
http://mysite.verizon.net/marangs/Vinux-IFL.html
The technical problem I ran into is that my laptop has not been able to
boot
from a DVD or USB Pen Drive with speech or any other sound ever since I
upgraded to Windows 7 and VMware Player 3.0. I have no idea yet why any
software upgrade could possibly effect the hardware when booting into
another Operating System. All of the ISO files I had previously created
and
which worked as well as downloading Live CD or DVD ISO images no longer
make
a sound. All of these images work within a Virtual Machine. As soon as I
feel better, I will attempt to figure this out.
I apologize that these instructions have not been verified! If you feel
somewhat comfortable with these type of operations, please give these
instructions a try. They are not perfect yet, but some of the brave might
want to tinker. Please provide any feedback or corrections so they can be
improved and easier for everyone to follow.
