Like looking for a needle in a haystack. I was looking at 20,000 wikis, trying to find the fool paragraph. Wish it was one of the options actually on the disk so even sighted users could see it. Well, I'm finally trying the last Squeeze build this time. Tried the 5.0.6 Lenny disk and couldn't make it come up with anything but "Partition the entire disk." As I don't want one large terabyte partition, or my sighted assistant wasn't reading the menus right, I thought I'd try Squeeze again. I wonder if that's a bug in the latest Lenny disk. I went to "partition the hard disk," selected "manually partition the disk," was given a list of my drives (4 of them), and was then asked if I wanted to partition the entire hard disk after selecting the first one. Either my sister wasn't reading it right and I was using the menus incorrectly, or something's buggy. I can't recall how many times I've done a Debian install, but I don't recall the installer ever acting like that...the Manually Partition the disk selection only giving you one option. Anyway, thank you for the head's up on where to find the accessible method. Already been at this for over a month now, thanks to SuperMicro telling me I had a bad power supply, and not the stewpid Watchdog Timer that resets the puter every five minutes when it doesn't detect an OS in operation.

Lost /etc/brlapi.key
Hello, I've compiled BRLTTY several times and now I have due to uncarefulness lost my brlapi.key. # apt-file search brlapi.key does not return any search results, so I'm wondering how I can get back the Debian version of this file in order to use BRLTTY with Orca.

Got that one finally figured out from a wiki somewhere last night. Kept thinking it wasn't the amd image, because I don't have an AMD CPU. They should name those suckers smp64 or something.

I've put a short string without whitespaces into this file, but Orca does not work with braille. Braille is checked and BRLTTY running. Where can I look for errors? The file is user-readable.

"speakup" virtual package?
Hello all, There any chance a "speakup" virtual package can be made, so you can just type "apt-get install speakup" once Debian is installed? As it stands now, sighted assistance is required to get speakup installed, once the installation has completed, the way the speakup-modules-* packages are named to match up with whatever kernel you have installed. These names cannot be "seen" when you're blind. On completion of the amd64 Squeeze install, an apt-cache search revealed no speakup modules at all, so tried the apt-get update+upgrade to see if they'd show up then, but again, it required sighted assistance to read the screen output. I think a speakup virtual package would solve the problem, match up the speakup module with the currently installed kernel, and everything would then be hunky-dorey. Whadda ya say?

Support for it is there already, but didn't make it before the squeeze freeze, so it'll be in wheezy. > As it > stands now, sighted assistance is required to get speakup installed, > once the installation has completed, the way the speakup-modules-* > packages are named to match up with whatever kernel you have installed. Err, if you installed with speakup assistance, speakup should already be installed and configured on your target system. If not, it's a bug that has to be fixed before the squeeze release, please provide more feedback.

icelandic table
Hello, I have submitted to Dave the icelandic table posted on the liblouis mailing list. I'd tend to consider this similar to i18n translations, I guess we should thus add it to the squeeze debian package?

No speakup-modules in squeeze now?
Hello all, Just installed the amd64 squeeze build, entered: apt-cache search speakup ...and got squat. No speakup-modules to install. Think this happened once before back in my Shane's netinst days, where things didn't show up until I upgraded a kernel. Performed an apt-get update/upgrade, and the modules are still not showing up. What do I do now? There's nothing to install, yet I installed by using it off the CD!
