After the 2.1 64-bit install DVD was booted, I could push F1 to get a help menu. It seems to be the original Debian installer. I rebooted from the install media again. Behind 'boot: ' I typed 'brltty=driver,device,texttable'. I got a message: 'Could not find kernel image: brltty=driver,device,texttable' Maybe you can get help on the Debian homepage. As I've written to you, Suse 11.0 64-bit don't cause the troubles with the sound server you got when running Ubuntu Hardy, but I'm running KDE there. Normally you won't get troubles when running Suse, but if you'll run into problems, there isn't such a community like there is for 64 Studio, so you better stay at 64 Studio, anyway I tested boot: brltyy=driver,device,texttable It seems to be fine for the Suse installer, braille settings were loaded and the install menu started. Because I only have a monitor I can't say if braille really was fine. In case of emergency, if 64 Studio can't be installed by yourself, you should try Suse 11.0. The advantage of Suse is, that you can get more and newer audio applications, the handycap of Suse is, that you have to do the RT settings yourself (group audio and /etc/security/limits.conf), also there is the need to copy or move sometimes libs from folders for 32-bit to folders for 64-bit and again, there isn't such a audio community like there is for 64 Studio. Maybe you first can try to get information about braille for a regular Debian installer. It might be possible, that you only have to get some additions, that can be integrated to the 64 Studio installer. I'm short at time this weekend, so I can't do more at the moment.
