Hi S.M., I've now downloaded and tested the 32-bit version of GRML from May 2012 and so far it seems to work quite beautifully. I get braille (with the brltty boot option) on my VarioPro 64 and also the sound card is detected and used properly. I especially like the beep which indicates the boot prompt... :)
Ironically, the only thing which has failed me so far is the hwinfo command. It prints a lot of stuff but before I get time to read anything, all of it disappears and instead an error message is shown telling me that Dbus/libhal failed. Seems to be a bug. Thanks for the tip.

I've had good luck with grml: http://www.grml.org YMMV Cheers, S.M. _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
