Hi, I send this call to tiflo-linux list. This is an spanish LUG formed by blind and low vision people. Perhaps someone will try to participate testing the installer. Also I made a simply translate for this call. You can find it at: http://www.tiflolinux.org/?q=node/48 Regards, pedro /roxu a fecha de 17 de oct de 2006, a las 02:38:35 +0200, Samuel Thibault dijo ... > Hi, > > Could some people test braille support from the latest debian > installer?
