Hi Cheryl. For the PPC live CD, I *believe* you want "live nofb".
As for how you can know for sure you're there: What I noticed on my iMac is that the CD spins quite a bit and then stops. The point at which it stops and remains quiet is the point at which you are at the boot prompt. <smiles and shrugs> Yesterday I purchased a USB to serial adapter and was able to use my Braille Lite 2000 with Emacspeak as a speech synthesizer -- something I mention only in light of the following: Getting brltty working with the Braille Lite as a USB device has been seemingly random. I did successfully manage to do so a couple of times, both on my PC and on my Mac. However, most of the time I get the following error: /drivers/usb/serial/mct_0232.c: MCT USB-RS232 unsupported baudrate request 0x0 using default of 9600. This repeats until I kill the process, at which point the Braille Lite announces that it's now waiting on the serial device. I have not yet figured out what I did differently on the occasions when I did get it working. However, using the nofb option -- assuming "live nofb" is the correct way of doing so -- seems to make no difference. Good luck! And please let me know if you figure it out.
