Well an usb display by all reports should be detected automatically. If you just somehow at the prompt invoke brltty like: brltty=display,device,table display being your two letter braille driver, and device being the port its on eg. ttyUSB, or whatever. I forget what usb is called now; I use a usb to serial device. table I think is optional, but your braille table en_us or en_uk are good starting ones. This should force the installer to use text mode! So perhaps you'll need a ps2 keyboard to initially type this??? Daniel.
