Write the installation disk on a floppy :
prompt> rawrite floppy.binYou may exit to a DOS shell at any time during the BrlSpeak installation, simply by using <Ctrl+C> and pressing <ENTER>
Bootdisks are currently debug enabled, so you should use a writable disk and if you have any problem, you can send us the debug.log file (see contact info below).
Boot on the disk.
Select the language you want to use among the list (currently "en" only).
The installation will now detect the partitions of your hard drive, find the FAT32 one where you want to install BrlSpeak, and type in the corresponding Unix name (/dev/hda1 for example); note that if you're using a SCSI hard drive you should replace the "h" with an "s" (/dev/sda1).
Select your braille driver among the list (just enter two digits, for example: enter "al" for Alva).
Currently supported braille-display types are:
Select the braille translation table (currently not available).
Select now the path where you want BrlSpeak to be installed to (this is a DOS path, default is C:\LINUX).
Select the type of installation: full is for the standard braille base, or for the minimal base fullaudio is for the vocal base (minimal requirments are: 250M for the braille/mini base, 300M for the vocal base).
Select the partition type: we encourage you to use ext3 only if you make a very small system (small as in 'a few hundred megabytes').
If you selected "full", enter the size of the base partition and the swap one.
Confirm your settings.
The installation program will create the directory, the different batch / configuration files, will copy a kernel loader, make the different loopbacks and format them.
When the prompt goes over to c:\linux>, verify if the base.tb2, initrd.img and vmlinuz are present in the directory; if not, then copy them to the current directory.
Note that FreeDOS has autocompletion so you can complete filenames using the <TAB> key.
Run 'runonce' for the first time, and only run 'linux' for future sessions.
