Currently, only the cdrom (2.88MB) i386 includes brltty by default.

To activate Braille display support during the installation,
|
| 9 |
you need to pass a boot parameter to the boot loader. Here is the format:
|
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
brltty=driver-code,device,text-table
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
driver-code: A two-letter code which identifies the display model being in use.
|
| 14 |
See brltty documentation for a complete list.
|
| 15 |
device: The device where the display is connected at. If tts/0, this
|
| 16 |
field can be left blank since that is the default.
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
text-table: The braille translation table to be used. Default is the
|
| 19 |
us table. Examples might be de, fr, it, ru ...
|
| 20 |
|

Example:
|

|

For a PowerBraille display on tts/1 with a german braille translation table:
|
| 24 |
brltty=ts,tts/1,de
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
For a HandyTech display on tts/0 with us translation table:
|
| 27 |
brltty=ht
