My understanding is that Vinux 6 will use Ubuntu and then Vinux 7 will
switch over to Fedora.

Subject: Re: Installing Fedora and other Linux systems
Well, if you're getting confused by the Talking Arch install, I would
recommend you stay away from Fedora for now.
Talking Arch is designed to be blind friendly. Fedora is not. So, save
Fedora for another day--for a day when you know more about Linux and
how
to work with it.
Just my advice, which you're free to do with as you will, of course.

I use the Talking arch iso. I've tried installing it, but I always
get stuck on one part or another, like setting the clock,
partitioning the drive, such like that. What I plan to do is
dualboot Windows and Linux, so I can have Emacspeak and the Windows
audio games and such as well. I'll also try installing Linux,
probably Arch this time, using a flash drive which I am 100." sure
that it'll work, as my old one didn't even work in Windows, so I
think it's gone rather bad.

I don't understand why you have trouble installing Arch. Are you
using
the especially adapted talking arch iso image? If installing arch,
this
is the one you should be using.

Installing Fedora is actually more difficult. Particularly tricky
is the
stage of installation where you partition your drive--unless you're
happy to take Fedora's defaults. Personally, I don't support that
default simply because I find it wise to put /home on a separate
partition--but maybe you wouldn't care. That's certainly up to you.
As to what may have gone wrong in your Fedora installation, you've
not
nearly enough info in your email. How do you know nothing went
wrong in
the install? What messages did you see?
And, how do you know it's not booting? What is it you expect that
isn't
happening? I'm presuming you're blind so aren't seeing screens.
So, how
do you know what you think you know?
I'm not trying to be harsh. But your message really isn't explaining
anything useful for debugging.
PS: It will also be easier to follow your explanation if you can
manage
to avoid run-on sentences.

Hi all. 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
en I pus
hed
i
t back in, I couldq't load Orca when first starting up the
installer, so the data on that drive is probably corrupted. So,
any ideas? Should I just go with Vinux and deal with it? 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.
