>I think I'd leave this up to the installer guys. 

Yes, if they're the experts then they should be doing it, especially since
we're talking about low-level stuff. Installers are much harder to debug at the
best of times. Fixing these problems would not only make life easier for blind
people who simply want to use your platform but also, particularly in the case
of RHEL, may well open up more employment opportunities for blind system
administrators and analysts.

We can certainly help with the testing. If we keep the enhancements to a
general nature, which I've tried to do in terms of my suggestions, then they
should be easy to maintain, and should only need initial validation that the
theories are correct and that all the issues have been dealt with.

>This will be a long term issue, but we can fill a bugzilla anyway :)

I, probably on behalf of many, would appreciate that.
