Installing FC2 with BRLTTY.

[Cheryl Homiak]

actually, I just made a brltty.iso using Dave's script and the boot.iso on 
the speakup site. It successfully booted both brltty and speakup for me at 
the same time.

However, it did not work with my first installation cd, but this is 
probably because my installation cds are from September. I am in the 
process of downloading and burning the first current speakup-FC2 cd to see 
whether this brltty.iso works with it. The error I got when I tried to use 
my first cd was:
"no fedora cd found: no cd was found that matches your boot media
so I believe this means that each time you update Speakup on the site you 
must also update the brltty.iso.

two caveats:
there has been a bug that caused some strange problems with data flow 
through the braille display halting until a key was pressed when speakup 
and brltty were used together. so either make sure this bug is squashed or 
advise people not to boot the installation with both speakup and brltty.

Second, I did get the following warnings when making the brltty.iso (using 
brltty-3.5.tar.gz since that was the stable version):

Hth, though I'm sure you all are way ahead of me and probably know all 
this.
