Hi, Leslie. The Gnopernicus screen reader and Brltty can be joined for giving braille access to the graphical Gnome desktop. However, as a new user to Linux I'm not sure it would be a good idea to jump in and try and configure Gnopernicus, Brltty, and Gnome for accessibility unless you have a serious need for something like OpenOffice or something like that. Most tasks like email, internet, text editing, etc can be done quite well from the console using brltty. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leslie Fairall" <fairall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 4:36 PM Subject: RE: Linux Installation Question > Hi Saqib: > > Thank you for your instructions. > > I had a chance to skim through the Fedora faq written by Janina and Bill. > It contains great information.
