Hi Daniel:) hi Christian :) Christian please let someone else install 64 Studio for you. It will be an advantage for you, that you don't need to take care about the audio problems and that you get GNOME running Orca by default. For the future it would be better if Christian and all blind people can do an install by themself. For Suse the install seems to work with braille. Asking the people who made the installer for Suse might not be a help, because the installer for Debian seems to be too different. Because Christian has got the needed hardware, he should ask the brltty project, I added the links and also a link that describes a problem for the Debian installer. Maybe someone who has knowledge about Linux and who can speak English very well can try to understand, what I don't understand. http://mielke.cc/brltty/guidelines.html#install http://mielke.cc/brltty/contact.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2006/03/msg01035.html Some Ubuntu users that don't need braille seems to be angry because of problems during install. A German link about this http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/software-fuer-behinderte-menschen/ that links to a discussion on English https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/39835 The links are old, but Etch is old too, that's why they might be actual for the 64 Studio installer. It's a pity that there is such a problem for the install, I'm sorry Christian, I didn't know this, but maybe you can help the 64 Studio people to get the knowledge to build a new installer. If the braille device is an USB device brltty might be the wrong choice,again a German link http://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/107964 Maybe it's easier to solve as it occurs. It might be possible that the main thing is to include a kernel modul for the installer's kernel, but the module seems to depend to the used braille hardware, that not all the time seems to need brltty. I could be completely wrong, because I not really understood what I was reading. Cheers, Ralf
