I guess. There have been activity. (I am not so current on d-i) Here is how I found out... http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2008/20080609 Installer images for i386 and amd64 have a new boot menu using syslinux's vesamenu. This allows for a more user-friendly selection of for example the regular or graphical installer. For the multi-architecture CD/DVD images this change means the 64-bits version of the installer needs to be selected manually from the menu. See the Installation Guide for details on how to use the new menu. and links to: http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/ch05s01.html.en#boot-screen To bypass the graphical boot screen you can either blindly press Esc to get a text boot prompt, or (equally blindly) press “H” followed by Enter to select the “Help” option described above. After that your keystrokes should be echoed at the prompt. To prevent the installer from using the framebuffer for the rest of the installation, you will also want to add fb=false to the boot prompt, as described in the help text. > I started my braille display at the second console.

Then edit /etc/apt/sources.list with somethhing like s/stable/testing/g. Then use dist-upgrade. For installer bug report/feature discussion, you will be better off using [EMAIL PROTECTED] or BTS. I think Debian is one of few distributiond which care about braille display and its installer. Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
