Hi Jude, if I recall correctly, there is no x windows dependency because of the split between x server and x client. What this means is that you can use an x client on your server with an x server on another machine, thus you do not need an x server installed on your machine. Now the issue I guess is to communicate this to blind users and where to document it. Maybe this is for a debian accessiblity list or the debian-devel list? hope this explains, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org | |join the new debian-community.org to help Debian! | |_______ Unless I ask to be CCd, assume I am subscribed _______|
