And speaking of "blind", I am visually impaired Where do they come up with the colors they use in the menu's? Blues and greens on black which are almost impossibe for me to see.

I think you should write a bugzilla precisely on that. Or two: one for the partitioner, about the colors, and another, a general enhancement request that they take into consideration the needs of the visually impaired. Perhaps they could create a configuration file so that if it exists applications use a diferent scheme easier on sight.
Hello Carlos,
After your admonishment, I decided to investigate further. I found that the partitioner found in the regular Yast does not have the problems I described. That is certainly usable although quite different in form from the old one
Yes, it is quite different. The engine behind should be the same, but the interface was changed because they needed better functionality for lvm and raid, they said. I tried it and found it... dunno, harder to use, but perhaps because I 'm used to the old one. After a while I got it to do what I wanted: it has a feature to read the fstab file in any partition that I found very usefull. But about the colors, I certainly don't know. I can't figure out well the needs of people with sight dificulties, and the only way is for those people to stay in touch with factory. This is a volunteer thing, they need people to test things: if nobody complains, then it is okay.
What I was describing re: unreadable colors was on the installation disk. An absolute horror for someone who is visually impaired. Why they are different in form but not functionability is unknown to me.
But I will file an enhancement request to please think about usability before they plunge ahead and do their eye candy thing.
That's the way to go :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
