I found the aur link on the archlinux.org page but so far, pacman isn't
searching and accessing aur. Is this something that can be done or is
this better done with a different tool? On Sun, 8 Aug 2010, Sven-Hendrik

I install chris brannon's talking arch linux a little earlier this

talking version since I can't see anything at all. For as small a
Linux as this is it's impressive. We need a foomatic-rip package
though because my parallel printer probably won't work well otherwise
and that makes it difficult for those helping me shop to read my
grocery lists. I have already built and got astrolog running on
archlinux and for free accurate horoscopes that's a good choice. I
could probably package it for this Linux if there's enough interest.
Another problem probably of interest to a larger audience is no
command line spreadsheet programs are yet available. I can probably
put some things together for that too. I'll definitely do that for
myself and again if there's enough interest I can probably build
something and make it available. I do use orca and gnome a little, but
the graphical user environment isn't my normal living space while at
home. I'm required to use Windows at work so I figure while I'm at
home I get to choose my operating systems and my operating system
interfaces. I don't want the two environments getting confused with
each other.
Hey Jude,
foomatic-rip should be included in the foomatic-filters package.
astrolog is available in AUR
(http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32863).
There are two tools I know of for CLI spreadsheets. sc and oleo. Both
have AUR packages available.
Nice to see Arch being used by blind users. Good job, Chris.
