Re: [orca-list] quick questions on orca and arch linux



Just 2 quick queries.
firstly, does the espeak modified version of arch come with espeak or will speakup need a hardware synth? And secondly, once the base installation is done (I guess it is command line setup ) will the further setup of gnome and other things be accessible? And which version of gnome gets installed with latest version of arch? I guess orca version 2.30 can be installed as well.

Happy hacking.

I would like a summary on the following.
1, is it possible to Install arch using orca?
No, it is text based so gnome/orca are not involved at that point.

2, is the installer graphical or text based?
Text based.  A Speakup-modified ISO is available to help with this.

3, how easy it is to install gnome on arch?
Basically, use the Arch package installer, pacman to install two
package groups - gnome and gnome-extra.  I believe xorg gets installed
implicitly with this sequence.  After installing those groups,
manually start up Orca for the first time with Alt-F2 and it should
work.

4, what are the superior points of arch, specially in context to
accessibility and Orca?
I like Arch for the rolling updates and ease of building new
packages.  Application packages are easy to examin and create.  I'm
not sure that a11y is particularly better than any other distro
though.
Can any one provide me links to any tutorial which would help me
install arch and gnome with no sighted assistance?
Where I sit right now, I can't dig up the links but I think if you
were to go to something like wiki.archlinux.org, you could find
links to Chris Brannon's modified ISO and instructions to get
sstarted.
I need to update the Orca wiki's installation section with details for
Arch Linux.
