List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi I wondered if you'd like to consider looking at a Linux distribution that will install itself in a folder of your Windows disk. The advantage is that you don't have to bother with adding disks, or partitioning. Its ideal as a beginning. You'll need about 100Mb of disk space for the distribution. The speaking version is called ZipSpeak which is a speaking version of ZipSlack. You'll need one of the supported synthesisers. You can read about the ZipSlack at: www.slackware.com HTH -----Original Message----- From: speakup-admin@braille.uwo.ca [mailto:speakup-admin@braille.uwo.ca]On Behalf Of Jason Symes Sent: 07 December 2001 02:29 To: speakup@braille.uwo.ca Subject: new linux user I'm considering purchasing a second hard drive to install some version of Linux on, while leaving my Win98SE as my main os. I've never installed a second os on one system, and I've had vary little experience with other os's from Windows. I heard about Speak Out from another list, and they recommended that I contact this list to get some help. I would appreciate any recommendations that any of you can make.
