Or Several years ago, there were several versions of the Slackware installer. One of them lacked all of the menus, and it played very nicely with speakup. I believe the name of the program was setup.tty. Unfortunately, it seems to have disappeared. The menu problem is caused by a little utility named "dialog", that allows one to display dialogs within shell scripts. I think it should be possible to hack dialog so that it displays menus with numbered options, rather than cursor-selectable options. Such menus work well with screenreaders. Perhaps the dialog tool could number its options if an environment variable were set. Has anyone on the list given much thought to this problem? -- Chris
