VMWARE

[Bart Bunting <bart socs uts edu au>]

you are correct you can't use a windows screenreader to access linux using vmware

what you can do however is:
setup a win95/98/nt box under vmware and run jaws in the virtual machine.

this means that you can have linux running and then switch to a console and use jaws with windows in the virtual machine.

it works rather well, though it is a little tricky to set up.
and will almost certainly require sighted assistance.
