Hi Kenny.
What I did was hack the first cd of the then weekly sarge cds (I believe
it was the week of september 20) and put brltty in the initrds; not the
official way to do it but it worked for me. The only cd install with
speakup I know of
is a netinst cd from back in february at

Well, thought I'd give this another try. Mario, if you're there, would you
please see if you can explain this to me.
Thanks.

The brltty.txt in the installer/docs directory of the subversion checkout
of the debian-installer says:
'Currently, the cdrom (2.88MB) i386 includes brltty by default.
Mario, since you wrote this, to what are you referring? Are you referring

I do know that when I installed with the first cdrom of the sarge cds I
burned )(I believe they were the week of September 20) with the expert
boot I was given a choice of a bunch of kernels and speakup was one of
them. So it is present in the mainstream install media.

It's good that you're fixing this.
It also can be worked around by using the net.img floppy and loading it
when prompted.
Even with the regular first cd of the sarge set, I have to choose my 3com
from a list; it isn't automatically detected. Btw, my hacked cd did the
job for installing with brlt
Thanks for replying, Mario.

I just re-installed on my laptop with fedora. I am a long-term debian
user, would rather have installed with debian, and would like to

debian to do this even though you aren't using it under X--I can't

Hi all.
