Now that the kernel boot problem of the d-i access floppy flavour

Hi.
As mentioned, I'm working on accessibility support for d-i.
As brltty will only fit on the cdrom target, I'll have
to use cd install for testing. NOw since I don't have
excess hardware, and esp. no cd burner, I need to find
a way to test things in UML.
The only thing I need there is /dev/tty

Hi.
One time I had a crazy thought for the accessibility project.
If a blind person is a HAM (many are I gather, I'm not),
he could do the install with morse. Morse is basicly available
99% of the time, because most machines have the pc speaker connected.
So I copied frontends/text to frontends/
OK, Its done and in the archives.
Could we add brltty-udeb to pkg-list/cdrom/common?
It built on nearly all archs, except s390, which I disabled because
s390 doesnt have /dev/vcs AFAIK.
It currently only checks environemtn-variables BRLTTY_BRAILLE_DRIVER
for instance, which can be set by passing
Hey.
I'll be getting a SPARCstation 20 for little

But I can test things, and I plan to test
brltty to verify if it actually works on anything else than i386...
