Re: [orca-list] how accessible is linux mint?

[Krishnakant Mane <krmane gmail com>]

I would agree with Alex, just hat a person like me or some hardware 
vendor would want the installer to be accessible.
However there is no reason to judge only on this criteria.  Some distors 
are out of the box accessible, while some need some adjustment.
In some cases just the installer needs sighted help.
Happy hacking.
