Between the two options > I probably saved 100 hours of ‘work.’ Do I still have to strip my usb tree down to the keyboard and mouse to keep it from installing orca and brltty? I don't want an installer like debians that puts a bunch of blind folks stuff in that wrecks the system in 1 or 2 days just because it finds a serial port. I'm not again the sight impaired but I think the installer should ask if that stuff is wanted BEFORE it puts it into the system, without supplying the tools to remove it. UPS's use it, cm11a's use it even if nut/heyu thinks its a usb interface. I have a legacy machine from 1985 in the basement that talks to this system thru either a modem like port based on a 6551 or a high speed bit banger thats actually slightly faster than a floppy drive. x10 home autmation stuff uses it for two way com with all its toy's that can do two way. Then you've a good idea of where I'm coming from. Final Q, does this MX-linux have a donation page? > HTH, if not best anyways!, > Michael > > https://mxlinux.org/download-links/ > Note: MX21 now includes systemd. Take care and stay well, and thanks for the suggestions. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
