You could just buy a pre-configured system setup for linux and have them to make the customizations. That may be a happy medium between doing something you don't like and doing something else you don't like. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenn at home" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." ; "Kenny Hitt" Sent: Sunday, May 29, 2005 4:40 PM Subject: Re: missing Grub entry > I guess it may not be for me. > I will no longer bother this list if this is the general consensus here. > As much as I am not a fan of NT, due to screen-reader difficulties, I guess > I may have to forget all of this Linux and go with something that I can get > some help with. > Glenn > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kenny Hitt" > To: "Glenn at home" ; "Speakup is a screen review > system for Linux." > Sent: Sunday, May 29, 2005 6:33 PM > Subject: Re: missing Grub entry > > > Hi. > > Things change quickly in the Linux world.
