I've just got my new Dell computer working with Windows XP, WindowEyes and Cygwin. It has an empty partition waiting for Linux. However, this partition has the NTFS file system. Does Cygwin have a utility for setting it to ext3? Once this is done, can I use dbootstrap from Debian? How do I get the latest kernel installed? The linux partition on this machine will be for software development and testing, so I'm thinking of installing Debian Unstable? I will be using brltty as my screenreader. The machine has no serial ports. WindowEyes works with a USB to serial adaptor and my Braille Lite. Can I use the adaptor and the braille lite with BRLTTY? How do I make the machine dual-boot? I think lilo would work better for me than grub. Thanks, John -- John J.
