Hi all I’ve just finished downloading and installing slint. It is a very accessible Linux distro and it is accessible in text mode. But I wasn’t able to test the accessibility of the graphical mode, although I do believe it works, because the installer starts in text mode. If there is a graphical installer, I was unable to find and use it, or start a desktop. If I could suggest some fixes, it would be fixing the boot loader accessibility which might not be possible because no boot loader is accessible regardless of OS, and adding options to launch desktops, in addition to the text installer. Also, there is no way to install only portions of the software. You must install all desktops and software programs, which is why an installed system takes up 11 gb of space. These are not complaints at all. The slint devs have done a fantastic job, and I have no doubt that all the desktops they include are accessible. So to summarize, my list of suggested changes would d be a graphical installer if there isn’t already one, options to boot into desktops, and a way to select exactly the software the user wants. That is it. Everything else works as advertised. I would also suggest auto partitioning, in both the text and graphical installers, since for now the user has to know fdisk, gdisk, or cfdisk commands to do it. This is not a complaint either, the documentation is very good. I’d be more than happy to help get this done, although I cannot code. Yet. Thanks Kendell Clark
