Re: running Linux without display

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@panix.com>]

The screen reader doesn't read the screen but what gets sent at the 
screen.  With the right software and configuration, things work 
correctly.  It's possible to install talkingarchlinux 
http://talkingarch.tk/ without a screen and continue to use it without a 
screen once installation is finished.  That version of linux is rather 
unique in this respect.  Could it be generally a linux install bug in 
cases where no display is attached a dummy package of some type is not 
automatically installed to cover that case?  It is necessary to run 
Windows without a display in order to enable java access bridge on 
windows and that worked as far back as Windows 7.
