If you get no such offer in, say, a week, I suggest you write again, and maybe people living further would decide to help. However, if you are interested, you might consider installing Debian - while I never read specific docs, I did see they specifically mention support for braile terminals *during installation*. I also just checked, and saw that knoppix also supports them - boot it with 'knoppix blind' to try. It has a file called 'knoppix-cheatcodes.txt' with all the options you can pass at boot. > A second issue relating to this is that currently I'm searching for a new > job. > If somebody thinks that he may help me with this issue, please again write > to me offlist and I'll give you the details of my experience and background. > I take the opportunity to say that during just a week of membership in this > mailing list, I'm enjoying the most proffessinal discussions and subjects > and hope to contribute in the future when I''ll think my knowledge covers > the scope of any specific discussion. Welcome aboard :-) (do mailers/braile terminals easily show such smilies? You bet I never thought how is it to read such things on one). -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
