	Hello brltty mailing list members:


	I am developing an interface for knoppix boot options. One of the 
options defines the braille device.

	I will be very glad if you could test it and tell me what do you think 
about it.

	The iso is found at:
	http://sgd.howto-linux.de/download/sgd_plus_knoppix_beta/knoppix_5.1.1_plus_sgd_0.9626_demo.iso
OR
http://sgd.benjamin-butschko.de/download/sgd_plus_knoppix_beta/knoppix_5.1.1_plus_sgd_0.9626_demo.iso
or you can download the iso inside a bz2 file for saving bandwith at:

http://sgd.howto-linux.de/download/sgd_plus_knoppix_beta/knoppix_5.1.1_plus_sgd_0.9626_demo.iso.bz2
OR
http://sgd.benjamin-butschko.de/download/sgd_plus_knoppix_beta/knoppix_5.1.1_plus_sgd_0.9626_demo.iso.bz2

.	The braille option is found at: Knoppix > English Super Live Boot -> 
Screen -> Braille

	You should be able to choose the braille driver, the braille device and 
the braille table (language).
	Once the three are selected you will find a timeout which will lead 
into a "not kernel found" error. This is normal because this is a demo 
and knoppix is not included.

	TIP: In the Boot menu (the one that timeouts into a error) you can 
select the "Show options" option so that you see what parametres are 
passed to the kernel.

	Some questions that you can answer are:

	1) Is it Screen a good place for braille option or do you advise me to 
use another location?
	2) Are there any drivers lacking?
	3) Can any of the orders be improved? I mean... which are the most used 
drivers? Should I put them into the top of the options so that they are 
easily selected?
	4) Should I put the actual drivers between brackets next to option name.

	I mean "Viavoice (vv)" instead of only "Viavoice".
	
	5) And for tables and devices, I should do the same thing as 4) ?
	

	Thank you very much for you feedback.

P.S.: You are supposed to use grub with up arrow key, down arrow key and 
enter key.

P.S.2: Is it already any bootloader that implements this kind of braille 
choosing or is it the first one?
