[Icon-tech] finding documentationondevelopingprogramsforthebraille plus

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, well looking at the debian list of packages that openembedded will 
install I would rather wait until it is verified by someone who has tried 
this and finds it to work before I go about installing it as I don't want to 
install something I don't need.  Has anyone successfully done this resently?
