| Debian Installer feat. BRLTTY |
| ----------------------------- |
| |
| Debian Installer natively supports BRLTTY since its beta 3 for Debian |
| Etch, see official announcement at [1]. If your Braille display is |
| connected by USB, simply press ENTER at syslinux prompt (at the very |
| beginning of the installation process), your display should be |
| autodetected. Otherwise, if either your display is connected by |
| serial port or you want to set a particular Braille table, give the |
| following line at syslinux prompt before pressing ENTER (you may be |
| careful as the keyboard layout is qwerty at this step): |
| |
| install brltty=drv,dev,tbl |
| |
| "drv" stands for the BRLTTY code of your Braille display, "dev" stands |
| for the device your Braille display is connected to (e.g. ttyS0, usb:, |
| ...) and "tbl" stands for the code of the Braille table to be set. |
| For example, this is the line that enables BRLTTY for a BAUM |
| SuperVario 40 Braille display connected by USB with default Braille |
| table: |
| |
| install brltty=bm,usb: |
| |
| Supported Braille displays and Braille tables are listed along with |
| corresponding codes in the BRLTTY manual, see [2]. Details about |
| installing Debian are available at [3]. Please also consider joining |
| Debian Accessibility mailing list at [4]. |
