Hi Blinuxers,
as there are many new subscribers of blinux-list,
who don't know about it, they should know that
there is a...
Blinux CD-ROM available!
Get the newest content of the Blinux FTP archive,
which at this moment holds a volume of over 520 mb of
compressed binary archives and documentation.
It would you take over 27 hours to download this stuff
through a 56k modem link (if the connection is really perfect).
What is Blinux CD-ROM?
Blinux CD-ROM is a genuine hand crafted, up to date mirror
of the Blinux archive site at ftp://leb.net/pub/blinux.
Piece by piece carefully roasted on high quality CD-Rs
using CDRECORD software under Linux.
Every CD-ROM is read veryfied and now has a neat
label showing a fat black penguin sitting around.
Contents of Blinux CD-ROM
Blinux CD-ROM holds these archive files:
ABBOT speech recognition demo
Access-HOWTO
DOS-to-Linux-HOWTO
ALVA braille terminal drivers (incl. kernels)
BRLTTY soft Braille terminal support
DECTALK Linux PC driver

SAYTIME speaking clock
SCREADER screen reader
Sound players (bplay, na_play, sox)
SPEAK text-to-speech server (SPO256-AL2 speech board)
ULTRASONIX prototype screen reader for X windows
and more...
How much does the Blinux CD-ROM cost (yes, postage is INCLUDED!):
USA: 7 US$
World: 7 US$
Germany: 10 DM
Europe: 70 Austrian Schillings,
200 Belgian Francs,
4 British Pound
35 French Francs
10000 Italian Lira
How to pay?:
Put the money as bank notes in an envelope between a leaf of
paper and send it to me. My address is:
Hans Zoebelein
c/o blinux cd-rom
Schellingstr. 63
80799 Muenchen
Germany
Don't forget to include your email and snail mail address.
I'll email you as soon as money has arrived and the CD-ROM is
shipped to your snail mail address.
Isn't this way of payment to unsecure?
So far, EVERY money sent to me, reached its destination.
(I didn't get any complaints so far about lost money).
How is Blinux CD-ROM shipped?
Blinux CD-ROM is shipped to non European addresses as airmail,
to European addresses as normal mail. The CD-ROM is
put into a padded cardboard envelope without using a jewel box.
This is done to stay below the 50gr weight limit and to pay
less postage costs.
Enjoy!
Hans
