No any; I just noticed that the GRML Live CD is now running brltty v.
3.7.2, but it's fixing itself due to the fact that we installed a Stable
Debian, so the retrieved brltty is 3.4.1;
idem for the locales message during installation: it shows an error
& falls back to the "C" locale/lang, but if you correctly choosed another
locale during the base-config, it is correctly loading the one you
choosed.

I did exactly like this:
grml vga=normal keyboard=be-latin1 brltty=al,ttyS0,de.tbl 'enter'
(no longer kilometric params are needed for brltty, only usb: instead of
ttySX if you're running an USB braille-display;
I see that you bypassed the ttyS part, and now USB is default, not
serial dispalys).

Try again with entering params as I specified.

Yes it is!

Why shouldn't it be correct? When you look at your /dev directory, you
see a symlink called /dev/cdrom, here correctly pointing to hdc; and
another symlink called cdrom1 pointing to hdd, or I suppose to your
second drive; but in fstab only the first device is added, this is
the same when you install from the official d-i.
You may add a symlink dvd or dvdrw in /dev pointing to hdYY (your
second CD device), and provide then the line in your fstab with the type
auto, not iso...

Chek if the links are made; if so, just add a line to your fstab.
Or, modify the symlinks but be care that you don't forget to change them
all correctly. IMHO I should only add a line refering to the symlink in
/dev, this may probably change the device order, but it will be safe.

Well, Debian Sarge installs by default OSS; I prefer it in a certain
way; but why not providing us with some WW hack I can publish, just as I
should be able to provide an olr hack with multimedia?
Maybe we wait until Philip is back to discuss this with him.
Now the script is stable, variations of it are becoming possible. But
our goal was/is to provide the base, as we agreed when we met us a few
weeks ago.
Philip will maybe not oppose to publishing some hacks, just as there
exist some developer's hacks of Links2 and eLinks.

I think it will be easier to do that since the original HowTo was
pointing to Etch mirrors. But let's wait for Philip's options.

William, can you cut the attach from reply when it is not a new feedback
output: this is to reduce the amount of the post. Thanx.
