4 Hi all,
5
6 this should probably be put under the call for features thread, but I
7 don't have the original message any longer and did not want to start a
8 sub thread.

10 It is very difficult for a person who is visually impaired to tell when
11 the live cd gets to the boot prompt. The only way I have figured out to
12 do this is to listen to my cd rom drive and guess that I am at the boot
13 prompt when the drive stops spinning.
14
15 The way I handle this on my actual machine is, that I have put a ^g in
16 my grub.conf.
17
18 I realize that we don't use grub on the live cd, but can something
19 similar be done there?

21 Thanks,
