Re: Installing SUSE 9.3 Pro

I'm not using any blind interface, but I may try to describe what shows =20=

at startup with grub.
Grub is the boot menu from the cd, which shows on a first line: boot =20
from harddisk.
On the next line it shows: installation.
On the next: installation - safe mode.
On the next: memory test.
There's another line, but I can't recall right now.

I don't think grub is braille aware, so you can't read anything yet.

If you just go down (arrow down) once, you should be on the =20
installation line. Just press enter, and this will load the installer.
When yast (Suse installer) loads, it also detects braille terminals, so =20=

you should read something within 1 min or 2.
The rest of the installation must be usable on your terminal, although =20=

I have no experience of that yet.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Alain
