That's hardly surprising. Whenever I strike a key, I get a glyph on the screen, so I assume the unsighted require similar feedback. > I did find a place in the desktop config to mute that channel of the speech > synth, but that does NOT stop it from logging a 6 line error in the syslog > for every key pressed or auto repeated. If you're talking about the syslog that ends up in /var/log/installer/, big deal. For verbosity, it's hard to beat the partman log, even when you barely touch the partitioner during installation. (I pre-partition disks before starting the d-i.) If the size of these two files embarrasses you, just archive them and delete them when the installation is done. Rocket science. > I have spent around 5 hours looking thru every nook and cranny of the bios > for a way to turn brltty off, but there is NO mention other the disabling the > mobo's serial port and that also stops the reboot at around 10 seconds, with > no further action from anything but the front panel rest button. The BIOS? I thought the idea was to not install the brltty package in your final system, and just mute it in any way you can find, during the installation process. > There is no timeout and continue, it just stops.

Period. Cheers, David.
