[BRLTTY] Install images

[J. R. Westmoreland]

I used to run Debian but after I kept getting burned by the update process,
things broken and a dozen extra packages loaded for fun, I moved away from
it. Could someone enlighten me on what is so difficult about Fedora?
Is it the installer or some other part of the distribution that makes it so
difficult?
I'd really appreciate the pointers.

Thanks,
J. R.

You're not being ignored, J.R. I think Fedora is a hard nut to crack;
at least it seemed to be last time I looked at it (somewhere around
version 10). If you've installed the development version (such as on
Cygwin) you'll find in there a script for Red Hat installs, but I
suspect it doesn't work for 13 which is why nobody's said anything
yet. Rest assured they're working on it.

In the meantime, is Fedora specifically necessary? Ubuntu is an
extremely popular distro right now, and there's the
specifically-tailored Vinux which is targeted at us blinkies. And
Debian has very active brltty support.

And even in Fedora, once you get it installed you can certainly run
brltty, so maybe you can call in a marker somewhere and get a
sightling to read the screen, just to cut the Gordian knot.
