Hi.  Ok, I'll try this again ... but it didn't seem to show a menu like the one
you describe.  Just seemed to be a flashing cursor.  I'll give it another go
now.  Thanks.

I'm not using any blind interface, but I may try to describe what shows
at startup with grub.
Grub is the boot menu from the cd, which shows on a first line: boot
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
installation line. Just press enter, and this will load the installer.
When yast (Suse installer) loads, it also detects braille terminals, so
you should read something within 1 min or 2.
The rest of the installation must be usable on your terminal, although
I have no experience of that yet.

I hope this helps.
