How-to install Slint version 14.2 with a Braille display using brltty.

The 32 and 64 bit editions of the Slint installers contain the brltty
software, allowing blind users to use them, then use the installed system,
through a Braille terminal or display.

Boot off the installation media and when you hear a 'beep' type the
command line in the form:
<language code> brltty=<driver code>,<device>,<text table>.
For instance to install with a Papenmeier device connected through USB
with a French text table, type:
06 brltty=pm,usb:,fr_FR
then press [Enter]

Here is the list of languages available and codes used:
04 Dutch
05 English (USA)
06 French
07 German
08 Greek
11 Norwegian (coming soon)
12 Polish
13 Portuguese (Brazil)
14 Portuguese (Portugal)
16 Russian
18 Spanish (Latin America)
20 Swedish
21 Turkish
22 Ukrainian

A few seconds after pressing [Enter] the startup messages should be
displayed on the Braille terminal or display.

Limitation: the 64 bit installer, if used on an UEFI firmware (not in
Legacy mode) uses a GRUB bootloader that needs the help of a sighted
person to edit (instead of just typing) an existing command line to
include "brltty=...".

Your settings will be recorded in the installed system in
/etc/brltty.conf, and brltty will be launched at startup by default
with these settings, unless you make the file /etc/rc.d/rc.brltty
non executable, typing:
chmod 0644 /etc/rc.d/rc.brltty

Also, if you plug in a Braille terminal connected through USB when the
system is running, it should become operational as relevant udev rules
should launch a brltty daemon with the proper driver.

You can consult the Slint website @ http://slint.fr to know more.

A comprehensive manual for brltty is available in English, French and
Portuguese in several formats including plain text (txt) at this URL:
