Like several others here I'm noticing a distinct lack of response from the elba discussion list. I received the usual confirmation of my message last week but haven't seen a single item on the list. I'll ask the same questions here ... it's only technically "on topic" since the beast runs linux underneath but I acknowledge there's a better list ... if it works. Oh, the list owner hasn't responded either. Here's my questions: 1) I ordered, I hope, both English and French for the machine. I assumed this would cover both speech synthesis and braille. But I don't see language options in the braille set-up. Can I enter and read Grade II braille in more than one language? If not, I would like to change this from French to English since I can scarcely read French grade II yet anyway. If necessary, is this possible at the user level or do I need help from Papenmeier and/or the local distributor? I also would not mind changing the language of interaction from French to English. I'm used to calling this the "locale" and know how to set it on other distributions of linux but it didn't seem to work here. 2) USB keys? I didn't see these in the manual as among the supported mass storage options. They are my preferred option though. Are they supported? 3) Wireless. I'm guessing the version of the manual I have is not up-to-date. Does anyone know a list of currently made and supported wireless cards? 4) USB ADSL modems. This is very unlikely. I note pppoe is supported but how about devices like the eagle-usb-based modems often supplied with ADSL accounts, at least in France. I've only just got these to work on my normal linux box so am not optimistic here. 5) Site for updates. When I boot up my machine says elba rev 123 my manual is for 1.41 and people are talking about a more recent update. I couldn't find this on the papenmeier site and the manual wasn't forthcoming about *where* one found these. Again, apologies for the marginal topic-group match and people should perhaps reply to me off-line. regards Peter -- Peter Rayner LSCE - CEA de Saclay Orme des Merisiers, 91191 Gif/Yvette work: +33 (1) 69 08 88 11; mobile: +33 (6) 75 46 56 52; fax: +33 (1) 69 08 77 16 mail-to: peter.rayner@xxxxxx _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
