Re: [Blind-Computing] Questions about Linux
Yes, it is very involved for beginners. However, I think it is the most flexible method. Eventually, I will try to cut a few corners and generate the simplest method possible. Perhaps more or all of the other Linux packages can be made part of the Vinux distribution. Then just downloading the ISO file will make it a Rescue disk by default. It can not have Image for Linux, since it is not freely distributable. Don Marang There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter.

Understanding typical user questions and difficulties helps me generate instructions that are more useful to a larger number of people. 1. To tell you the truth, I had never heard of persistent storage used as a term before either. However, I understood the concept, I probably would have called it something else. The live CD and DVD have no persistent storage. They still let you install some software or data files, but it completely disappears when you turn off the computer. The only exception is if you locate your internal hard drive or external hard drive and write data files to them. Both the CD/DVD or USB Flash drives squash their file systems, which is similar to compressing like zip files and decompress as needed when operating. The persistent storage on a Flash drive, to my understanding, is a large file on the Flash drive, which holds user data which remains in between sessions. It looks to the user as the same file system as would be on an installed hard drive. However, under the covers, the main part of the filesystem is actually squashed and the user files and packages installed after creation of the Flash device, are packed inside that large file of persistent storage. To the user, it just appears as if they can "permanantly" save 2 or 4 GB of new data / packages. Did that confuse you more? 2. The instructions I sent you a link to earlier was a link to an article on the Vinux Wicky. A Wicky, just like the wickopedia site, is an area where the Vinux user community contributes tips and tricks on Vinux. We have just gotten started, but there is a lot of great info there already. Take a little time to look around! 3. Actually, the following is more accurate, tell me if this is understandable. You need to install the VMware Player software onn your computer. This creates an environment inside your computer that makes entire Operating Systems, like Vinux run inside a single window of Windows 7 (or XP). The Vinux Operating System is called a guest but thinks it is running on it's own physical computer hardware. It happens to have only half or less RAM, a fraction of the hard disk space, and a slower processor! This is because these resources need to be shared between the Windows host and the virtual Vinux guest. The guest virtual hard disk is merely one or a group of very large files on the physical hard drive. Wow, I did not plan to go offf on a tangent like that. If you downloaded the Vinux Virtual Edition from the Vinux Virtual World site, it includes the VMware software, the Vinux virtual hardd disk and configurations, and instructions. It does not run in RAM, it thinks it is installed on a hard drive. It just happens to be virtual. Then you change all of the settings the way you like, install extra software, and perform a 'sudo remastersys backup', which creates the live, bootable ISO file. Take the ISO file and burn it to a DVD and or use it to create a USB Flash drive using the Windows creation tool. It is possible to create the USB drive directly in Vinux, but I sometimes have trouble getting persistence to work using that tool. 4. This should be a one time adventure. Like the live CD, it should adjust to a large variety of hardware. Don Marang There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real subs

Re: [Blind-Computing] windows update
You will receive a message asking you to install any updates that are on your computer. Sometimes, the update is downloaded to your computer and you are asked to restart the computer so that the download will be installed. - Original Message - From: "Anna Vimini" To: Sent: Saturday, December 11, 2010 12:18 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] windows update How can I tell if the windows update is up to date with the latest updates?

Re: [Blind-Computing] Help Regarding Apple
Dear Niam, Before you invest too much, get correct information. Find out for certain if they are going Apple or not. If you are worried about something which isn't happening you are worrying unnecessarily and that is unhealthy with no benefit. If it does happen then you have worried twice. What is your computing need at the office? Do you transcribe, clerical functions, programming? I am sure someone can assist you to connect with blind Apple users on the Web.

However, it is being rumored in my office that we might go over to apple, have just started to get to grips with Jaws. Tried to join a blind apple support group via Google and failed. Help and advice please, I am sick with worry.
