It runs as a console application so you will have to use either a Windows screen reader like Jaws that reads those well or a dos screen reader. Contact me off list if you need help either acquiring this terminal application or if you need help setting it up.

Are there other changes I could make to make the box more useable? One thing, for example, when I log in with my terminal program, I don't see a way to distinguish files from folders. I'm still looking for a terminal program if anyone has any ideas. Thanks for the urls, I'll give those a look, and for reasons mentioned in other posts, will likely go with fedora. 73s Butch Bussen wa0vjr On Wed, 6 Oct 2004, Janina Sajka wrote: > You're not going to mess anything up by becoming an ordinary user.
