Do you know for sure? In addition to disabling Kudzu, you should make sure that you're booting into a text mode, and not a graphical mode. At least I don't believe brltty yet supports X! After the machine boots, you can do Alt+Control+F1 to get to a text mode login prompt. The runlevel controls which mode you get. It is set in /etc/inittab. In that file there is a line like this: id:3:initdefault: If it says :5:, you might want to edit the file to change the value to :3: PS: chkconfig is a nice little utility for managing what is and isn't launched by the boot process for any particular run level. You can get a complete printout on what the settings are by doing: chkconfig --list On Sun, 18 Nov 2001, John J.
