Fedora Core installer...?

[David Renström]

Hi Dave!

Nope, the other Vario driver didn't work at all. It didn't even start up. 
Maybe it's because I've got a bad cable. I don't know.

No, turning off and on the display doesn't work (tried that the first 
time). It actually looks like as if the BRLTTY daemon is actually killed by 
Anaconda. Is there no way of preventing it from probing for mice on the 
serial ports?

Regards,
