Re: [orca-list] [off topic] help with ArchLinux

[Julien Claassen <julien mail upb de>]

Hello everyone!
  First: thanks a lot to all of you. there were a few ideas, I might have 
considered, while experimenting and shame on me, I should have thought of them 
myself.
  But now it is running. I reinstalled the whole system. I don't know, where 
the error was, but it was somewhere in the boot process itself. I can smell a 
running Linux from a mile away, but if it hangs in the boot process itself, 
I'm rather helpless. I would have heard the sound being enabled and since I'm 
a musician, I know how to test my soundcard as such. Perhaps I should have 
mentioned that as well.
  As for brltty, there just is a bug, which is known and being worked on, but 
still not fixed yet. That is why, I will have to recompile. Otherwise BRLTTY 
would have worked. I certainly hear it starting on the installer CD.
  In practise ArchLinux or Debian Squeeze are currently the only systems, I 
can install from scratch. And Debian Squeeze is old and the Debian releases 
are rather slow. This is nice for reasons of stability, but bad, if I want to 
test some of the graphical tricks.
  All other distros don't support my soundcard and as I said, BRLTTY in its 
version >4.2 is unhelpful right now. Still now the system is running, that 
will be solved in a jiffy, once I get some more time off for that. :-)
  Warm regards and thanks again!
         Julien
