8 Yes. There are instances when a blind person might need to type
9 something at the boot prompt, say, to configure brltty if we eventually
10 put it on the livecd eventually, look at

13 The current brltty will not be ready to go stable for this release, but
14 it is something I would like to have considered for future releases.
