Re: unique install question? (Squeeze audio install using the Wheezy-di from a USB drive)

Hi Lici,
That was the nicest way to say...get to the point!
Honestly, I cannot speak to how layout appears for others.
I actually have the same question when I use, pico, the editor here.
In google mail there is an option.  Wrap lines to  fit displayed area?
I always say now, since the displayed area is going to differ based on what you are using. 
Therefore I am not sure I can do much about how Pico  is blocking the text.
That might not be the main issue though.
I admit to a William Faulkner or Charles Dickens sentence structure tendency. 
Do either of those names ring a bell?
You know, starting a sentence on say page 7 that goes on for a a couple of pages? 
That is a Falkner hing.
Writing my email in a word processor might help me on that front, but pico like word is no word processor. 
No idea if that helps!
Would you feel better if I shared that Brian tabled my main issue ages back? 
Falknerly yours,
Kare

Rob,
I do not work in most popular, because this may or may not mean most
accessible from a screen reading standpoint, or more flexible from a
usability standpoint...in my personal dictionary, there is no such thing
as "most people."
I am using pure dos  on my main computer for example, having never
regarded windows as either a reasonable or practical way to run a
computer, no matter how popular..but back to debian.

case in point, I sing professionally and am a radio producer, for me there
is no such thing as too many music players, smiles.
Again if there were a list that one could review outside of the install
process detailing the packages  and the images with which they were
associated, you would have a point.  However without such a list to review
in advance I would likely never discover other program options.
If you know of such a list send away.
Otherwise, the idea that I might find 20 music players  waiting on DVD4,
means I will most certainly now  install everything to get to them lol!
I seriously understand what you and the others are saying, but I am working
with very limited information, and  have more than enough room on the
30gig hard
drive I am using for all  of the packages.  Then I can choose so that for
my next machine I can install less.


Karen, I hesitate to ask, since you are clearly so much worse off than I.

I am partially sighted, and have great difficulty with your emails because the
blocks are so large.  The largest block of text in this email is 14 lines,
which is still problematic, but the largest block in your previous email was
44 lines long. [ I didn't count myself, I got KWrite to do it. ;-) ]

I realise that you may not be able to do anything about it, and that you may
not even know that you are doing it.  But if you do know that you are doing
it, and would be able to do something about it, could you possibly?

I find your emails worth reading and am prepared to take some effort to read
them.  And I could always copy and paste into a word processor and edit it.
It's just that it would be nice not to have to do so.

Thanks,
Lisi
