Hi Al,

Thank you for your reply. I now realize that screen reader access
across user accounts is a general problem that when solved will help
in various areas aprart from mere installation. I guess my problem is
more with the graphical installer itself than with the way it has to
bestartedd. Once started, I found it so unresponsive on slow machines
that it was virtually impossible to get through the steps of the
install. The information actually required from the user is very
little, which is why I would muchlike to have the option of doing even
somthing like:

$ sudo ubiquity text --language English --City Zurich --keyboard de_CH \
		--hostname mybox --user jimmy --root-fs /dev/hda5 --swap /dev/hda6 

Then it could ask for jimmy's password and start with the
installation. Where can I find documentation about what methods
aminimal ubiquity frontend must implement?

Thanks and best regards, Lukas
