[Grml] [Grml-devel] First Release Candidate of Grml version 2017.05 available

[John G Heim]

The debian package for braille support is called brltty. There is a 
parameter within /etc/default/brltty to put it into the initrc which 
then causes it to auto-detect the braille display and start it 
automatically. I am not sure how it worked under the 2014 release 
though. All I know is that braille used to work automatically.

I have not tried the release candidate directly from a cd-rom/dvd. I'll 
try that and see if I get the beep.
