JFTR we are currently discussing our decision regarding the brltty boot option. We just discovered that the bootoption was for example already according to http://mielke.cc/brltty/guidelines.html Christan Hofstaedtler reported http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=653587 while investigating the current state of brltty in Debian.
One small question does brltty really supports configuring itself via the bootoption? Do you need any parameters like -b -d or -t at all if you specify the brltty boot option in the commandline?
I don't agree :-) For me, it is simpler to use grml2iso one time :
grml2iso -b "my boot options" -o grml_brl.iso grml_2011.05.iso
and then, there's nothing to do !
JFTR you can still do it:
1) Create a directory named /tmp/grml_overlay We will use grml2iso to copy the content of this directory to the iso. 2) Create a directory named scripts inside /tmp/grml_overlay and create a script named grml.sh inside the directory (/tmp/grml_overlay/scripts/grml.sh) 3) Inside the script run the necessary commands to start brltty 4) run
grml2iso -b "boot options scripts" -c /tmp/grml_overlay -o grml_brl.iso grml_2011.05.iso
The important option here is the scripts bootoption which will automatically run scripts/grml.sh at startup. This allows you to automatically start brltty on your own. The -c bootoption copies the content from the specified directory directly onto the iso image containing your script which will start brltty.
OVERLAY_DIR=/tmp/grml_overlay mkdir "$OVERLAY_DIR" mkdir "$OVERLAY_DIR"/scripts vi "$OVERLAY_DIR"/scripts/grml.sh chmod 755 $OVERLAY_DIR"/scripts/grml.sh grml2iso -b "boot options scripts" -c /tmp/grml_overlay -o grml_brl.iso grml_2011.05.iso
cheers, Ulrich
