I've never used Arch or any of its derivatives, so I can't really help with the original poster's problem... though I would've thought the old Kernel would've been left in place and sighted assistence could be used to select it from GRUB or whatever alternative boot loader one is using. I do find the harsh criticism of Arch as an accessible Linux option and the recommendation of Debian Stable and Ubuntu instead a bit eyebrow raising though. Seems like half the issues people have on the Orca Mailing list come down to Debian Stable and Ubuntu(and especially 18.04) having out-of-date accessibility stacks, and from what I've heard over the years from various sources, Arch seems to be the most popular alternative to Debian as a base for custom, accessibility-focused distros. Admittedly, I'd probably recommend Debian stable to a sighted Linux newbie, but accessibility is one area where Debian's focus on stability over cutting edge does more harm than good... I'd probably recommend Knoppix running in Adriane mode to a blind person interested in learning Linux, but it's been years since there were any official Knoppix images with Adriane as the default boot option, and while it's a one line edit to a single text file within the ISO to make Adriane the default, I know no means of directly editing an ISO, and the method I've been using to make Adriane DVDs of mount, copy, edit, rebuild, burn is rather involved... Plus, Knoppix is only really designed with live use in mind, so while it's amazing for system rescue or having a portable copy of Linux, it's not the best for a primary OS. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
