May I remind you of what we write in the HOWTO on this subject? Our
words are not gratuitous. They're there for a reason. Here's a quote a
pro pos this very subject:
" * You'll be asked what kind of installation you want to perform.
This screen offers the following selections: Personal Desktop,
Workstation, Server,
Laptop, Custom, Update. We very strongly advice that you choose
"Server." Unfortunately, the "Personal Desktop," "Workstation"
and "Laptop"
installation classes skew their package and configuration
selections to GUI users, and this is highly
disadvantageous to the speech and braille
user who will find that some important, text-based
programs, like the Lynx world wide web browser, for
example, are not installed.
" * You will be asked what packages you wish to
* install. There's a very long list of
* available packages, and you could certainly
* add anything you
don't install now later, but this would
be a nuisance at best and tends to be
confusing to the BEGINNER. We recommend
you press the "end" key to
go to the last option which is
"everything" if you have
sufficient disk space. An
"EVERYTHING" INSTALLATION
REQUIRES APPROXIMATELY 8 gB, but
it
will really provide
everything the blind user
needs. And, of particular
interest to blind users
today, it will install
GNOME and the Gnopernicus
screen reader for
you to use as
well. On the other
hand, if you're
short on space,
you'll find that
choosing the
"Server" class
installation in
the
preceding
step will
give you
almost all
of the
text-based
applications
you need."
