Hi All,
I am visually impared and am trying to install fedora.
I have tried the telnet install and that does not work for some reason.
I waited until the cd had stopped spinning (all the while pressing the f
key to keep the timeout from occurring), cleared the boot line (or what
I assume is the boot line), then typed the following:
linux text telnet ip=192.168.2.73 netmaks=255.255.255.0
gateway=192.168.2.1 ksdevice=link
I only have one ethernet device (on a desktop machine), but thought I'd
include the directive anyways.
The CD spun for a while then stopped, but no ping requests were
returned, and no telnet requests were allowed in, I was met with a long
time out.
I booted from CDs made from both the netinst.iso and the disc1.iso
files.
Any ideas why this isn't working?
Also, I used to install with braille, using a braillified installer CD
created by someone from the brltty comunity, but I cannot get in touch
with anyone from brltty, and there is no braillified installer disk on
their site.
Anyone know how I could go about integrating brltty into a boot disk?
Anyone already done it?
Cheers for all your help.
