This is an ad for a current product from E-bay. I wonder if anything
similar to this might be currently available to someone like me new to
linux who'd like to set it up even though I have only a Dubltalk external
box and atypical windows PC cable of running windows 98se.
If such a product for blind PC users exists please advise where I can
purchase such a CD, as I have only dial-up access and obviously can't
easily download it.
If such a disk does not exist it would be a real winner for folks like me
wanting to start using linux.

No you don't. You have three options:
* Do not install any software to the hard drive. You can run the OS
from the "LIVE-CD".
* Reformat the hard drive and install Runlevel Linux onto it as the
only OS.
* Install a dual boot system where Runlevel Linux or another OS like
Windows XP can be run at startup.
