Here are some brief instructions on how to use the cygwin installer with jaws. I haven't been able to get window-eyes to find the scroll down arrow, so can't comment on its usage. 1. get to the select packages point. 2. turn off graphics in jaws (insert-v, g, space, enter). They just get in your way. 3. if you click on a category name, after using your jaws cursor to read down, it will expand that category. if you click on the word next to a category, it will change from default to install, uninstall, and something else (not necessarilly in that order). What you need to do when you are on a package you want to install is to click on the word skip that appears near the left of the line. it'll cycle through the versions of the packages available - clicking once will work. When you want to go to the next screen of packages, you can click on the scroll down arrow a few times. What I do is have my jaws cursor on the scroll down arrow, click, read line, if it's something I want to install, I press home, left click, end, click (on the scroll arrow), and repeat. If you maximize the window, the scroll down arrow (atleast on my screen) is on a seperate line, so it's slightly more annoying to get to. Sometimes you have to maximize the window though, since the package names get cut off. Hope this helps anybody who is having trouble with the cygwin install process.
