Cheryl and everyone else who has replied to my post,
That helps a lot! I thought that was the case, as I recall seeing
this mentioned on the list in the past, but just wanted to make sure,
as I've never installed OS X myself - have always had my sighted
roommate do it.
As to OS X needing a serial number, etc, the answer would be no, it
doesn't require the "serial number from h*ll)! <grin>
The website I was referring to, was Apple's own site, on the page
which listed Leopard's features, I believe, right around the time it
was released. As I recall, one of the "selling points", in the
accessibility section, was that the blind could install the OS,
independently with the aid of a Braille display. There was no mention
of being able to install with the aid of speech, so I thought perhaps
Apple was still working on making that possible. Guess I stand
corrected. <grin>
If I have any difficulties, I'll be sure to post to the list.
Thanks!
Ron

You can install Leopard either by starting the computer while
holding down the C key with the dvd in place or by putting the dvd
in, opening the installer, etc. as you described above. There's
absolutely no problem installing with vo using speech; with a laptop
you might have to use command-FNkey-f5 but those with laptops will
be able to tell you that for sure. If speech isn't loud enough, do
cmd-option-ctrl-right arrow I think twice to volume, and then do
ctrl-option-up arrow repeatedly until it stops getting louder or you
hear a ping sound, even if the volume already says 100 percent. The
install is totally accessible. If you saw a website that only
explained installing with braille, I'm assuming the ability to
install with speech was just taken for granted, but then I know one
should never assume anything--*grin*!!!
