I don't know. At this point I think you would be best persuading a friend to
come around and have a look. Alternatively you could boot from a live CD and
copy brltty manually. There are Linux CDs with BRLTTY installed. If you have
another computer running Linux which you can access, you could connect it to
the new machine over a network cable and use ssh to access the shell on the
new system.

I don't want to start a debate here, but I've never liked Red Hat
distributions, for a number of reasons, one of which is that they can't be
upgraded without rebooting the system. Debian, on the other hand, can be
installed once and then upgraded from the command line, without ever having to
re-install the system or boot from a CD. Ubuntu is derived from Debian, and so
far as I know, it supports similar upgrade procedures.
