I'll check with Jeremy to see if this is possible. One person on
#fedora-devel suggested doing the install in a virtual machine, then we
can use the mouse to grab the text.
Just discussed this with Jeremy, here are the points.
* Telnet install is broken, until it gets fixed, we can't use that to
get text screen captures of installation.
* VMWare, unfortunately, is the best virtual machine to install with in
order to get text grabs. Others such as UML require work to make
happen.
* Even if a version of the Installation Guide had text-based shots of
the installation screen, we would still not be able to easily capture
the contents of scrolling or drop-down menus, etc.
I'm thinking that we should push this discussion off until FC4
Installation Guide, at the earliest. It would be a good but tough
project to make an a11y version of the IG.
