Hi, Reading those two documents it sounded like you had to press down
errow
to get to the graphical installer but was not totally clear on this point
Yes: the first item is selected by default, so you need to press down
once to get the the second item.
so I think there needs to be some improovment in the exact process on how
to get to the installer from the boot menu as the letter choices are not
shown in the documentation either.
It's too late for the squeeze release, such fixes will be only in
wheezy.
Also, the DVD iso image beeped but not the CD iso image or the mini
GTK image
Where did you get the latter from, exactly? (All the official builds
should be beeping, but not the weekly/daily test builds).
and when viewing the menu.cfg file
with cat it did beep on the DVD image but not on the CD or GTK mini iso
image.
Which is an indication that the latter are probably just test builds.
Also, I tried hitting escape and typing installgui and the speakup
options but nothing worked at all.
That's not the documented way. It happens that it should still be
working, though.
More keyboard commands need to be added
to the documentation for the boot menu as I could not follow the
directions
I tried hitting down errow then tab then typing in the commands
By "commands", you mean after typing tab, just type
speakup.synth=apollo
for the apollo synthesizer, right? (without pressing the escape key at
all)
That's exactly what should work. If it doesn't, there's a problem
somewhere, not in what you are doing, but somewhere else, you'll
probably need a pair of eyes to tell us what's happening on the screen.
rebooted and tried down errow once then tab then space then commands.
No need for the space, it's there already.
When
that did not work I tried doing the same but instead using escape and
typing in everything on one line then the tab stuff.
No, as the documentation says, you need to press tab first to get to the
boot command.
I noticed that when going into text mode my screen made a clicking
sound when I pressed escape so that was a helpful signal.
Yes, escape will drop you into the raw syslinux prompt, but that's not a
documented way of doing things, as "installgui" may change in the
future.
Just to make sure: you know that official builds don't have software
speech, only hardware speech is supported, right?
