Hello,

Well I got gonpernicus to talk with Festival on Ubuntu (a small bug in the 
festival.scm file) and also the magnification to run (including full 
screen).  Once this is done things look great for new users.  Ubuntu has a 
live CD for Accessibility which is pretty good.  He is working on an install 
for Ubuntu that will talk the user through if they request it.

The debian package of gnopernicus only recommends gnome-mag.  Most new 
ubuntu/debian users (and I fell for this too) downloaded gonpernicus package 
and it installed with no problems.  They loaded up gnopernicus, checked 
"magnifier" and click ok.  Nothing happens.  This leads them to think 
something is wrong.  Here I used "srcore --enable-magnifier" and noticed 
gnome-mag was not installed.  I then installed the package and away I went.

I think the startup gui should probe for gnome-mag and Braille.  Currently 
ubunutu/debian do not support Braille because of a lack of a lib for the 
brttly package.  This cannot be too difficult since srcore already probes 
and notices that it cannot be found.  If it is grayed out and the same error 
message is displayed, I think users will then go and download gnome-mag.

Thanks
