small problem, I would have to have a working linux system to use that tool (unless there happens to be a windows version). right now, the only way I can get linux working on here is via USB stick. I don't have a working DVD drive for either machine nor do I have any external media other than a USB stick or 2. see the problem here? -eric On Jun 8, 2016, at 2:11 AM, Jude DaShiell wrote: > There is an accessible tool for linux called rufus. > > On Wed, 8 Jun 2016, Eric Oyen wrote: > >> Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2016 04:50:28 >> From: Eric Oyen <eric.oyen@xxxxxxxxxx> >> Reply-To: Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> >> To: Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> >> Subject: Re: need to skip vinux and install ubuntu >> hmmm. I wish I could get that far. I have a windows machine (and this mac), but I can't get either to make a bootable USB stick because the 1 tool needed is bloody inaccessible. the tool is Unetbootn and its nothing but graphics in windows (tested with 3 screen readers there) and all but invisible to voiceover on my mac. >> >> now, I have contacted the developer on that project to see if he can offer a solution. guess I won't know until later this week.
