John:

It's hard to advise you when you only hint at what you use to access 
computer interfaces. You mention braille. Well and good. You will not 
install using braille, because you will not have brltty running, at least 
not with the installation disks you get from Redhat.

If you can also use speech, get the speakup enabled Redhat 7.2 iso images 
from ftp://www.linux-speakup.org/pub/speakup/disks/redhat/7.2/
