I'm all for making OSes easier to install for the blind.
However, after the number of hours I've spent helping sighted folks
install Windows, Mac, Linux, you name it, if I need to go ask someone
for a bit of help on a OS install, well, I've earned it.


Sorry, but I've run into a lot of sighted people who I've sat there
walking through all sorts of installs.
It happens, we help each other out.
Dignity is within; you can't take mine away no matter how many times you
help me watch the pattern of blinking lights or read the screen.
