Have you an iPhone with be my eyes app on it? If so, it may prove
informative if you call up a volunteer and get them to watch your screen
for you while you try a boot up and have them tell you what if any
messages appear. My guess is, you have no default system set to boot
and a grub menu is coming up. If that's the case when you boot and
everything stops you could hit downarrow once then hit <enter> and see
if anything happens. If you get the wrong operating system, try reboot
again and just hit <enter> without touching arrow keys and see if you
get a different operating system.

I did trx that, and raising and lowering the volume, which usually makes a pop sound in Gnome, and I tried alt f2, which also didn't know. I didn't hear the popping noise either, and braille didn't come up when I plugged in both the Braille note touch, which probably isn't supported, and the Focus 40 Blue which the AT department has here, which I _1know is supported, but neither produced the "screen not in text mode" braille which every Orca and braille user surely comes to know and love. :-)

You may need to hit alt-super-s after you start fedora for the first
time whether or not fedora comes up speaking at all and this may have to
be done each time you boot fedora too.

After using Windows for a month, after using Linux for two months, I've noticed that everything that I do on Windows, I could do on Windows, and with the Braille note Touch, I can get the Exchange emails from the training center I'm attending, which mainly uses Windows. So, while in Windows, I burned a USB drive with the latest Fedora image, using Rufus, making it bootable. So, The installation went well, but after the computer restarted, and the flash drive was taken out, no system came up. I've never seen that happen before, and Googling didn't give any answers, so I'm stuck between Vinux, and Arch. Vinux being okay I suppose, but out of date, and Arch being hard for me to install, without scripts although the ones I know of are broken, but Arch is what I like, because it has anything I ask of it. So I tried installing Fedora a few more times, formatting the drive, but no luck. Then I accidentally pulled the flash drive out of the USB drive for a moment, and wh

The last time I tried the instructions for installing Arch, I got stuck on setting the clock and such, because the results I got were not the results on the ge, so I'm just not sure what to do.
