I eventually had to get my roommate to sit through the entire linux install process, until it was all done, then go edit the inittab file myself. (actually, told him what to change) In any case, a simple text.gz (or even color.gz) disk that uses serial ports would solve a *lot* of linux install problems for visually impaired users, as we can then install on one machine, and use another via serial port as a terminal.
