I second the recommendation of GRML. Although I run FC4 on multiple systems, the totally CD based GRML system is a great tool for use on non-Linux systems. It offers an easy way to run Linux with no installation effort. The Grml tools can even be useful for doing maintenance on a Windows system. Even without speech, it can be booted for ssh access from another system. Just wait for the CD to go quiet and type ssh=x. That activates an ssh daemon with 'x' as the ssh password Jim Kutsch Morristown, NJ ----- Original Message ----- From: "John covici" <covici@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, December 23, 2005 02:07 Subject: Re: Anything similar to this CD that talks for blind users?
