Re: Questions about Netinst and Live CD
Hi Samuel,
thanks a lot for your answer.
Why can't the beep be integrated into the daily builds? This way, the
function could be tested before the release of the official Lenny
version. I had assumed that all changes would appear in the Lenny
version first and would not be found as late as in the official release.
In your Wiki article, you do not address the condition in the Lenny CD.
Here, one does not directly end up on the line for the boot prompt, but
one has to press the TAB key first. Then, one can enter the parameter
for the Braille display. It would be great, if you could also integrate
this small hint for Lenny.
About the Live CD: maybe we are lucky and the CD contains orca. This
way, on could press Alt+F2 after the boot of the CD and call orca.
Unfortunately, I have not been able so far to test this due to problems
with burning the CD.
