My Octobraille is OK. But I encountered 2 problems: a) if I'd like to install from http or ftp, it asks me for the server etc; this is really bad since I install Debians without having to enter such info by hand :( Isn't there a menu with a list of local ftp / http servers just like under Debian? What should I enter for example (web server and dir)? b) I do then a (normal) CD inst, and when running the CD test it results in a FAIL message; what am I missing? I simply downloaded the FC4-i386-disc1(to4).iso using axel; was it better with wget? Or does cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=x,y,z FC.iso is not good enough? BTW I wasn't able to check md5sum since there is only a sha1sum file on the download (here belnet.be) server. Thanx for further tips/help.
