Hello,

I'm using Mandriva Linux, and I'm very happy with it.
The only big drawback is that the official installer doesn't contain
brltty, so one need sighted help to install it.
However, the distro is so good that I wanted it anyway, so I got sighted
help when I installed it.

Anyway, it should be possible to install it for people who use braille.
I contacted Mandriva and asked them if they could implement brltty, but
I have not got any response so far.
Therefor, I wonder if it's possible to make a braillefied installer
image the same way as it is created for Fedora and RedHat?
Since Mandriva also is RedHat-based, and the installer doesn't differ
much from Fedora's, it shouldn't be very much work to do.
I don't have the knowledge to do such things, so I wonder if someone on
this list can take a look at it?
For now, I think the best solution is to modify the small
boot.iso-image, and put it on the download sight for brltty, where the
braillefied images for Fedora etc. already are placed.

Regards, Martin
