Hello there Gordan,
This is Saqib Shaikh; I wrote the Speakup documentation that comes with
Slackware. Firstly I agree that SuSE did something very good by including a
braille screen reader within their distribution. However, there are a few
points to bear in mind:
1. You have 7 CDs and a DVD but there is only half a CD of console apps!
Most of the extra stuff, like VMWare demo, StarOffice, RealPlayer, Adobe
Acrobat and the list goes on, are only accessible through X. I still think
SuSE is a good distro, but also remember that SuSE started off as Slackware
with RPM support, and then they began adding lots of X stuff. In short
Slackware is good especially to start off with. In terms of partitioning
your hard disk have you tried:
cfdisk /dev/hdc
That is pass the disk name as a parameter.
Email again if you require further info.
