Hi: Do you have another system which can work for you as your speech or Braille enabled box? If yes, you can redirect the whole installation of any linux distro (at least I did that with debian and redhat) to this terminal box, at boot prompt you need to put: linux text console=ttySX,9600,n81 where X is a tty device you are using to communicate with your terminal. In regards to brltty enabled debian installation disks, there is a detailed instruction how to do it in /brltty-XXX/Bootdisk/README.DEBIAN. It might be not that clear at first, I had to try several times, but I finally succeeded to build the set of floppies for my alva abt340. Hope it helps, Pawel.

I've gotten 2 different people to look at my bios to figure out how to get the computer to search the cdrom for a boot sector. For some odd reason, it doesn't work. And this Shrike no longer supports the boot floppy function. > So I'm at a loss. > Any suggestions? > Martin > > ******************************************************* > *** Life is all good! *** > ******************************************************* > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
