He has an alva braille display and we want to build a bootdisk for it. I guess this question goes to Nicolas, but I misplaced his address. Does brltty support Alvas and if so, it is difficult to set up? Thanks Martin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Does brltty support Alvas and if so, it is difficult to set up? I'm here! If difficult? It depends. I don't know how Debian boot/root installation disks are made. I already modified Slackware and Red Hat boot disks: Slackware = very easy, Red Hat = need little hacking (you need to replace init by a stub init to do a fork and so on...). If debian contains some startup scripts, you just have to compile BRLTTY with all settings right in the Makefile, copy it to the bootdisk and call it from the startup script. And of course BRLTTY supports Alva. Anyway if you need more help tell me! Nicolas Pitre, B. ing. nico@cam.org ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Hello all, we (Oliver Buechel & me) 're currently making a speech enabled soundcard based Linux system. So since we're at it I can as well offer some help here. I've got no clue about BRLTTY yet, but being a long time Debian user, I might help some with the Debian boot disk. If you, Nicolas, would give me some examples (the stuff to make Slackware and RH work) I'd give it a try to integrate it into a Debian boot. * t ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tomas Pospisek - Freelance: Linuxing, Networking http://spin.ch/~tpo/freelance www.SPIN.ch - Internet Services in Graubuenden/Switzerland WANTED: sysadmin-> http://spin.ch/~tpo/joboffer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
