Wiedermal: Buecher für Linux

by Georg Kellerer

Hi Leute, ich habe einen Weiteren Link für Linuxbücher gefunden. Schaut mal vorbei unter: http://infosec.cs.pku.edu.cn/~tly/unixbook/ Allerdings glaube ich, daß sich die wenigsten Bücher dort für Einsteiger eigenen. Aber als gute Quele reichts allemal. CU Georg

by Georg Kellerer

Hi Linuxspezialisten, hat einer von euch schon mal ausprobiert, ob sich blinux unter aix übersetzen läßt? Ich muß vielleicht bald unter AIX arbeiten und würde nun gerne wissen, ob es möglich wäre, blinux auf einer AIX-wworkstation zu betreiben. Hat da jemand erfahrungen? Vielen dank für eure Antworten.

SuSE Installer

by Gordon Smith

Hi. 2 Questions regarding the installer. Firstly, is there any comprehensive documentation on the installer when used in conjunction with a Braille terminal? Secondly, when I run the installer, I get no text output on my monitor when a Braille display is detected. Is this normal? I thought some kind of redirection may be going on here, but it seems strange to me if that is the case. It also has a huge disadvantage, in as much as I can't always track the installer properly with my Alva 340, and it would maybe help to have sighted help. But, since there is no text being displayed on my monitor, that isn't possible. Kind regards, Gordon Smith. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "mailto:Gordon Smith <gordon(a)tft-bbs.co.uk" "mailto:Gordon Smith <07932634539(a)one2one.net" http://www.tft-bbs.co.uk> ftp://ftp.tft-bbs.co.uk ftp://ftp.tft-bbs.com ftp://ftp.tft-bbs.org.uk ICQ: 23973878 MSN Messenger: gordon(a)tft-bbs.co.uk Tel.: +44 7932 634 539 Fax.: +44 1642 357 754

Yast2 with Braille

by Gordon Smith

Hi. I am still struggling with the Braille interface in the Yast2 installation program for SuSE. I can't seem to move around the installation dialogs properly. The keys I am trying to use are: Tab to advance to the next dialog, up/down arrow to select items in list boxes and radio buttons. Space to highlight an option in a radio button. Enter to select the next button. However, the Braille display is not tracking the changes on-screen, and parts of the display appear to be getting complete garbled. Also, is there a way to change the Braille translation table from the German 8-dot default, (which I find extremely difficult to read), to English 6-dot? I'm using an Alva-Braille ABT340. The display seems responsive enough, and is initialising reliably now. Finally, wen I boot into the installation, I'm getting some sort of message about my computer not supporting the graphical installation, and about needing a minimum of 64M of RAM for this. It also says something like as a fallback, the textual front-end will be used to guide me through the installation. Is this normal for users of Braille, or could it be that SuSE doesn't like my graphics card? Any help appreciated. Kind regards, Gordon Smith. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "mailto:Gordon Smith <gordon(a)tft-bbs.co.uk" "mailto:Gordon Smith <07932634539(a)one2one.net" http://www.tft-bbs.co.uk> ftp://ftp.tft-bbs.co.uk ftp://ftp.tft-bbs.com ftp://ftp.tft-bbs.org.uk ICQ: 23973878 MSN Messenger: gordon(a)tft-bbs.co.uk Tel.: +44 7932 634 539 Fax.: +44 1642 357 754

Hi again. I have the Alva working now with the installation process, and it is seeing it on Com2 every time. One more question, if I may. I only have a 40-character display. Therefore, obviously, I am only seeing half of each line. When I press the key on the Alva which usually advances to the next 40 characters, I am still missing important parts of the displayed line. Is there a way I can move smoothly around the screen? But I am encouraged greatly by the fact that at least I am now seeing some response from the terminal.

Installing with an Alva Braille Display.

by Gordon Smith

Hi. Has anybody had any success installing SuSE with an Alva Braille terminal? I can't even try this operating system, about which I heard so many good reports that I went out and bought it. I can't get my Alva to be recognised on boot-up. Is this a known issue, and or is there a solution? I'm excited about what I've read and heard about SuSE, I think it has a lot of potential for the visually impaired user, but until I can install it myself, I can't really recommend it to my clients. I would also be interested to know whether there is a speech package which will work with SuSE? People have mentioned Speakup and EmacSpeak, but more info would be welcome and appreciated. Kind regards, Gordon Smith. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "mailto:Gordon Smith <gordon(a)tft-bbs.co.uk" "mailto:Gordon Smith <07932634539(a)one2one.net" http://www.tft-bbs.co.uk> ftp://ftp.tft-bbs.co.uk ftp://ftp.tft-bbs.com ftp://ftp.tft-bbs.org.uk ICQ: 23973878 MSN Messenger: gordon(a)tft-bbs.co.uk Tel.: +44 7932 634 539 Fax.: +44 1642 357 754
