Gentoo + Voyager

[David Renström]

i again all list members!

Now I've managed to get the Braille Voyager going! It was partly my fault. 
I hadn't noticed that the /boot mount-point was actually not mounted. So, I 
installed the new kernel on the large non-boot partition. No wonder my 
changes didn't take effect... :-(

However, I also had to uninstall the BRLTTY version available in the 
Portage tree (I think it's 3.4) and install the 3.5pre3 the usual way. The 
Portage version didn't work at all.

Thanks for your time,
/David R.
