Good afternoon,

    I Am very sad and unhappy, that Your accessibility development team considered to remove automatic braille display autodetection and support during booting from A live CD. I found out, that Your development team probably made this decision while officially publishing Ubuntu Hardy Heron Live and later even official CD. I would like to please You, if You could give Me atleast a short programmers explanation, why did You have to make this change to ubuntu distribution. I very liked automatic braille display detection algorithms and I have never problems, that Brltty displayed message during booting up, that screen is not in A text mode. Because after starting Gnome, I could start Orca Screen Reader and I could enable braille support.

Using command line parameters is not comfortable during booting process. And I AM not sure, if this would work reliably. 

Thank You very much for Your answer. 
The kindness regards.
