Bug#355851: a blindunfriendly debian installer problem



[quoted lines by Samuel Thibault on 2006/03/28 at 15:57 +0200]

Hi:

In my opinion, it's more important to give the blind person his screen as
quickly as possible rather than to wait, which would still leave him wondering
what went wrong. A better solution, therefore, might be for brltty to make the
device file somewhere else, e.g. in /etc/brltty, if it can't create it in the
usual place. It could even remove the file immediately after opening it, in
this case, if we deem it important to not leave device files lying around in
strange places.
