[nfbcs] Grub Question:

[Jim Barbour]

If you need to interact with grub while your machine is booting, which
is likely if you're hacking it, then you're only option is to
configure grub so it will display it's output to a USB port, rather
than a graphics display.

I'm afraid I don't have the exact instructions for doing this, just a strong belief that it can be done.  

As for Linux screen reader access, you have three choices.  They are
ranked according to my preference.  I'm hoping others will chime in
with theirs..

1. Configure LInux so you can use ssh to connect to it via the networking from a mac or windows machine running a screen reader.

2. Install yasr, which is a screen reader which only works inside a linux terminal.

3. Install emacspeak, which is a text based, talking environment for interacting with LInux.  It's a nice environment, but might be a lot for you to learn.

4. install orca, which is a full GUI screen reader.  Others on this list like it more than I do.

Hope this gets you started googling <grin>
