Hi Martin, cc questions@ Might you be prepared to write a page for the FreeBSD handbook ? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html It could go under "V. Appendices" ? Having someone who is blind as author of such a page would make it more authoritative & useful for other blind people I assume. I guess you could start by correlate previous posting on this thread, + add your knowledge, keeping text short & linking to tools & equipment manufacturers ? (& inc. a URL to the Knoppix blind version) There's been a few people who have asked me over the years, & I've never really known where to point them. PS A near blind person in Germany told me a decade or more back: - each country has a different Braille !? - one line display systems in Germany are extremely expensive.
