gene think your miss understanding the instructions on jfw lite.
or maybe i am.
i do not think they make a windows boot disk using the m s operating
system, no they install windows using a vbatch operation using a dos floppy.
at least that was my impression.
or they use a program like nero to create a windows boot disk.
the ability to install windows using a batch operation has been around a
long time but suspect its more complicated than say using a backup program
in dos.
like ghost.
its also some what complicated to make a boot disk using burning packages.
especially if you need to add the driver to the cd rom for your sound card.
by default xp only supports i think the 5.1creative labs drivers.
if they where serious about blind access they would include drivers for all
the creative cards.
and maybe the ones for a few other popular ones.
so the extra steps required for adding drivers would not be required.
when you realize how old the creative labs 5.1 sound card is its pretty
amazing that audagy 1 and 2 drivers are not also included.
still this brings one to a interesting point, narrator is a good edition.
in the past m s could have argued that creating a software speech
solutionin safe mode was to complicated, making sure that
it would work with numerous screen readers to big a task.
with narrator now present though m s could at least design the o s so that
narrator worked in safe mode so we could use system restore to roll back .
also the ability to use narrator for common trouble shooting task only
performed in safe mode.
so m s would have total control over all the parts of the operation.
then jfw and other screen readers could do their own thing to make them
work in safe mode as well.
if the screen reader failled to do so at least one could have some access
using narrator.
