[BRLTTY] Does the rhmkiso script work for anyone at all?

[Mario Lang]

Hi.

I just tried to use the rhmkiso script to create a BRLTTY
enabled fedora CD and failed completely.  Does this actually
work for anyone?

List of possible bugs:
The FC4 boot.iso uses the "newc" cpio format, rhmkiso
forces the oldc format.
When using the 3.7.2 tarball and the 3.7.2 version of rhmkiso,
this, and the fact that the ramdisk size seems too small
prevent the resulting cd from booting, we get a kernel panic, unable
to mount root fs.  I hacked around this, only to
get to the point where brltty works, but /dev/ttyS0 does not exist.
So much about the released tarball.  I then tried the
latest rhmkiso script from SVN.  But that one unfortunately
has a hard-dependancy on the fedora MAKEDEV script.  For instance,
the Debian MAKEDEV script does not understand -d and -D args.
So at is seems, 3.7.2 scriptage fails, and the svn scriptage is
now distributiion dependant.
