Hello, Just to advertise that the current testing version of qemu (actually, starting from 0.9.1-4) has an ncurses interface as well as virtual braille support. That means you can
dd < /dev/zero > img bs=1M count=1 seek=2000 qemu -cdrom debian-install.iso -hda img -curses -k fr That will boot the debian installer CD-ROM (press Enter when it says "Graphic mode", because it is just the isolinux graphical prompt), and you'll get to the debian installer on a VT console. Note the -k fr which is necessary if your keyboard is a french one, see /usr/share/qemu/keymaps for the others. About the braille support, you can run qemu -cdrom debian-install.iso -hda img -curses -k fr -usbdevice braille which will emulate a braille device and show the result on your real braille device via brlapi/brltty. That permits e.g. to test the braillified debian installer without having to boot it for real. Note to sighted people: you can use the latter by running brltty -b xw -A auth=user which will display a fake braille device on your X server.
