Hi Nigel!

Seems interesting, but unfortunately that's not what I'm looking for, i.e. 
I want a clean installation and absolutely no Emacspeak crap... I'm a 
braille user, you know... :-) No seriously,  the main problem is that I 
want a real installation and not just a bootable CD.

Regards,
/David R.
