I am going through the handbook and trying to understand the various concepts. I have not seen the installation in a virtual box yet. I am wondering if I can install it on a 32 or 64 GB USB stick, or does it have to be an external SSD?

One of the things which discouraged me from adopting linux in the past was the lack of easy to follow documentations. Everytime I tried, I found myself browsing in highly technical documents that sounded like a foreign language to me. This handbook seems to avoid this problem. >> I will certainly try slint, if it can be used as a live install without having to physically install on my hard disc. I will also browse this handbook to learn more about slint. >> Thanks for this. I will certainly need your help if I install it on my hard disc. What I want ideally is the ability to have both linux and windows running on the same machine, and I choose which one to start at bootup. >> Regards, >> Ibrahim >> On 10/31/21 4:06 AM, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: >>> Hello Ibrahim, >>> this is easily done with Slint, if Windows boots in EFI mode: >>> https://slint.fr/doc/HandBook.html >>> Cheers, >>> Didier >>> -- >>> Didier Spaier >>> Slint maintainer >>> Le 31/10/2021 à 04:18, Linux for blind general discussion a écrit : >>>> Hello folks, >>>> I have been playing with Linux mint and Accessible Coconut for over 24 hours. I am getting to like this system. However, When I contemplated installing on my hard disk, I found the installation process a little confusing and scary.
