-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello. As some of you perhaps know, debian is rewriting its installer system completely new. I've done some brltty integration work, and here is the first easily testable result: http://gluck.debian.org/~mlang/net-brl-ht-ts-1440.img Disclaimer: First of all, this is an alpha version of the debian-installer, so you should expect problems. Introduction: - ------------- It was quite hard to fit all on one floppy (kernel+initrd), so I had to do some modifications by hand (pack kernel with upx, and delete all brltty modules except ht and ts). Which displays should work: HandyTech and TSI family displays. The choice was simply made because I have a ht and a ts model around... How to use: - ------- Get the image, and write it to disk: dd if=net-brl-ht-ts-1440.img of=dev/fd0 Then get some computer you want to try this on... Boot up the PC with the floppy inserted. At the Boot: prompt (careful, its only 5 seconds displayed right now), enter Linux BRLTTY_BRAILLE_DRIVER=xx where xx is the module shortcut, like ts or ht. The default device is /dev/tts/0. SO if you connect your display to com1, you should be fine. I just wanted to get this out there for interested folks to play with, please let me know if you have any questions. But keep in mind that this is far from production-quality software, its all very much under development right now. - -- CYa, Mario | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> | Get my public key via finger mlang@db.debian.org | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iD8DBQE992oD3/wCKmsRPkQRAqJDAJ0dBnXvGWj2Y40VmSf7/xLu3gYY6gCeMwtR ZsLA0yiq69IONwDktFz9xnI= =Z457 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
