Re: [orca-list] Open suse latest version with orca? Setting up orca on live cd? And accessible installer?

[Mike Gorse <mgorse alum wpi edu>]

Hi Trey,

OpenSUSE 12.1 has GNOME 3.2.1, so for the most part it is about as 
accessible as GNOME 3.2 is in general.

I'd suggest using the GNOME LiveCD rather than the DVD if you want to 
install it (the installer on the DVD is QT-based). It is possible to 
install via yast from the GNOME LiveCD. Doing the following should work:

- You should get a beep at the boot prompt. Press enter, or wait a few 
seconds.

- Wait for the CD to stop spinning.

- Press alt-f2. Type orca. Press enter. At this point Orca should start up 
and bring up the setup dialog. When it exits, I *think* it iwll log you 
out and back in. In any case, you should be able to press alt-f2, orca, 
enter again, and Orca will start up normally.

- Start yast. I'd recommend typing alt-f2, /sbin/YaST2, enter (note case 
on YaST2). You should then be able to tab to "install" and press enter, 
and the installer should speak.

Setting "automatic login" on the screen where you choose your username and 
password might be useful.

In any case, you'll need to start Orca similarly once you restart your 
system.

Hth,
