Tony, O.K. actually what I did really want to know is the odds of a jessie upgrade working with the DTLK, and it looks like maybe not. So we havn't waisted our time. I may hunt up a second HD and do a regular jessie install on it see if can make that work with the dtlk. The synth is just a personal preference so I may have to byte the bullett and "modernize' Oh gasp oh horrors! <GRIN> But if the braille display doesn't fly, that's a deal breaker. thanks again Tom Fowle On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 02:53:12AM -0800, Tony Baechler wrote: > On 12/13/2015 7:45 PM, Tom Fowle wrote: > >Is it worth the fuss to run script and try to copy the results of any > >commands to a thumb drive then send em to you? > >Happy to try that if might be usefull? > > Thanks for testing.
