No, but isn't there going to be a problems with the fact that the RPMS are spread over two CDs?
I have no idea if the RPMS you will need to freshen are all on the first CD. The instructions for FTP install tell you to copy all the stuff from multiple CDs onto one filesystem if you are going to try and FTP or NFS install.
You might be able to freshen out of that collection.
Back in the early 80's, I worked with a blind programmer in San Francisco. He had two devices, a braille terminal that ran on 300 baud ascii that worked miserably with our IBM system (which did not support xon-xoff), and a reader that he could use wither with paper (with a head that had its own light) or with a VTR (using light from the character mode VTRs)
In those cases, the device simply raised a pin where it saw light (or dark, with the print media) in the shape of the character.
He was much faster with the braille terminal and we finally got him a tymnet account and communicated with them on X.25 (they supported xon-xoff, and we could choke output using X.25 protocol) and he was able to use the braille terminal effectively.
I hope this device is effective, it is actually very similar to the screen reader, with the exception that it is has drivers as opposed to a light coupling (which should be more effective, since the user would not have to manipulate a camera. Then again, the user could more easily find his position on the screen with the camera).
I wonder if it has a good system for screen coordinate feedback?
