He'd wouldn't mind booting it off other machines. However, I think he wants to be able to boot it off his current windows box without having to resize a partition and all of that other work.

If none of those work, I am sure we can make some arrangement.  If you know my number, you can call me but I do not wish to publish it.  If you do not respond by tomorow sometime, I will try to call you.

He wants me to install a fully operational Ubuntu 11 system to it. unfortunately, all I have is a vinux install dvd and a mac. since the Ubuntu install doesn't have speech or braille support enabled at startup, I find myself in a position of needing some help.

Also, this is the first time since using linux that I have forced to use it totally blind (before I was merely just a very low partial using very large print). since going total last year, I have found doing some things (like computer tech support) a lot more difficult.I know that vinux is ubuntu based, but it doesn't include support for KDE (which is what the room mate wants).
