[BRLTTY] Maybe O.T.: Need help with braille in Knoppix Adriane

[Jeronimo Schöber]

Hello,
I am not sure if your display is supported by brltty. But I very much 
recommend using Debian Lenny or Squeeze to do the first Installation of 
Linux.
It has a textbased installer and runs brltty out of the box. If your display 
is usb connected it should work.
Best regards
Jeronimo
