Yes, I know this, but we were actually talking about accessibility support in the Debian Installer. There is a difference between a full-blown desktop system that a user wants to use to get work done, and the system that is used to install the operating system. I still doubt it is very useful for blind people to use a graphical installer. Especially because of all the needless overhead. -- CYa, Mario | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
