Re: Boot.img.gz
2011/4/9 mattias : > Are it accessible for the blind? > To install from > Braille etc? Hello Mattias, Could you elaborate ? https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/installation-guide/amd64/boot-installer-accessibility.html USB braille displays should be automatically detected. A textual version of the installer will then be automatically selected, and support for the braille display will be automatically installed on the target system. Serial braille displays cannot safely be automatically detected (since that may damage some of them). You thus need to append the brltty=driver,port,table boot parameter to tell brltty which driver it should use. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Keimpe de Jong (UndiFineD) -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
