Keith, I am trying to learn more and more of it as my time allows. I blew all of my partitions on that drive and dedicated the machine for Linux for now. As far as Chris' work is concerned, yes he has done a damn good job. I have been programming for the last 12 years and I know how frustrating it can be. I am already compiling a list of improvements as I go by installing and learning about Archlinux. Does he have any control over the synthesizer? SpeakUp is great, but some of my improvement suggestions point to the synthesizer. That's why I asked. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Keith Hinton Sent: Friday, April 30, 2010 4:50 PM To: speakup Subject: Installing Archlinux on a USB Drive Also, as of now, the Talking Arch images that Chris has produced are hybrid images. You'll be able to put them onto recordable media, or something else capable of booting them. Chris has done an extremely good job at creating these CD images and I've helped out with testing a bit. A tip though if you are unsure of how the Arch installer works however, may be to try something like this. If you have a Windows machine, you may be able to run a virtual machine on your computer. I will not discuss that process on this list-but am suggesting it as a perfect testbed for any Linux related activity that you may wish to try, especially if you do not have an available machine that is dedicated exclusively to Linux. That brings up a good question-why is it, that so many Linux documents generally recommend having an exclusive machine dedicated to Linux itself only, rather than the dual-boot and other similar setups? I've been trying to figure that out for a while. Keep up the work on the Speakup project everyone!
