Re: [orca-list] Orca install

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

While many may not like this, as it uses speakup in a text console, you
could try using GRML. For that you don't need a braille display or
hardware synthesiser as it comes with all the stuff to use speakup with
a software synth. Just use the swspeak option at the boot menu (IE. a
command such as 
grml swspeak
) and then when it is loaded (I think it tells you) you just need to run
the command
swspeak
I understand that GRML can be installed to the hard disk, and once
installed it is possible to install gnome and orca, although you may
find that for some tasks the text console is better/faster, although if
you are familiar with GUIs only then getting used to a command line
environment may be a little work.

I just like giving people the options, and I feel GRML certainly is
worth mentioning if the question is really more about how can Linux be
installed without specialist hardware.
