I was looking at laptops recently. I took 2 linux CDs, an OpenBSD
install CD,
and a USB stick with OpenBSD on it.
I got a lot more useful information about hardware compatibility from
the OpenBSDs than the Linux CDs because OpenBSD didn't try to bring up
anything
ok,
thats a bunch of information. However, for me, its the same as rocket science
as I am totally blind and would require sighted assistance just to get it to
either install a network card, or port to USB/Serial. Unlike the rest of you,

I think this can be done pretty easy once you figured out what options
you do need for your specific installation by removing the code that
ask for options - or forcing the defaults by tricking

Thanks. already looking into it. I may have to figure out how to include a
screen reader to work in this. there are 2 ways: using ORCA in the Gnome

but requires a lot of modifications to get it running). ORCA on an X

haha... little far fetched... Since when are u using OpenBSD? Reading

since when? h. let me think since about OpenBSD 4.2 or so. and yes, I
still need some visual assistance when doing an install/upgrade.
also, to answer another poster's question: I use speakup from a linux source
package (with the proper line in sysctl.conf enabled for linux binaries.
Can you please let us know how you run it, and which packages you needed?
The one at www.linux-speakup.org is a kernel module, and it isn't
obvious how you use this with OpenBSD.

I never noticed these projects before. sometimes, being limited to braille or
screen readers can be more than a little frustrating.
thanks for the links though. I will give them a try and see what I can do with
them.
