I used to run Debian but after I kept getting burned by the update process, things broken and a dozen extra packages loaded for fun, I moved away from it. Could someone enlighten me on what is so difficult about Fedora? Is it the installer or some other part of the distribution that makes it so difficult? I'd really appreciate the pointers.

Subject: Re: [BRLTTY] Install images You're not being ignored, J.R. I think Fedora is a hard nut to crack; at least it seemed to be last time I looked at it (somewhere around version 10). If you've installed the development version (such as on Cygwin) you'll find in there a script for Red Hat installs, but I suspect it doesn't work for 13 which is why nobody's said anything yet. Rest assured they're working on it. In the meantime, is Fedora specifically necessary? Ubuntu is an extremely popular distro right now, and there's the specifically-tailored Vinux which is targeted at us blinkies. And Debian has very active brltty support. And even in Fedora, once you get it installed you can certainly run brltty, so maybe you can call in a marker somewhere and get a sightling to read the screen, just to cut the Gordian knot. -- Lee Maschmeyer "Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise." --Lewis Carroll _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
