>	Hi, I'm new to the list and need some help adapting a 
>Mitsubishi Amity baby laptop for my blind friend Laurie. This laptop 
>weights a hair over a kilogram, has a 133 mhz pentium chip, 16 megs 
>memory, 1 gig hard drive, and sound blaster pro sound "card". It has 
>a floppy drive but no CD drive. I installed Redhat 5.2 on it in 1998 
>using the boot floppy and a Backpack parallel port CD drive and 
>later upgraded to Redhat 6.0. As my friend has no use for Gnome and 
>it slows the boot down so much, I have reinstalled Redhat 5.2 with 
>the "workstation" package of modules. Laurie has a "Type and Speak" 
>that she can use as an output device, but she'd prefer a software 
>solution so she doesn't have another device to lug around. Where do 
>I go from here? Any suggestions?
