accessible ubuntu 6.06 findings

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel shellworld net>]

1)  graphical boot jumps up very fast and monopolizes ubuntu's start up 
procedures; bad but not fatal,
2)  Gnopernicus even when started up by sighted installers doesn't always 
come up talking even with a verified working sound card; bad but not 
fatal,
3)  On a vintage 1999 dell dimension p3 desktop computer possibly dsg or 
dsx install system starts up automatic partitioning then gets lost in 
space; bad and fatal,
4)  Sighted assistance did verify disk integrity on install disk and the 
disk passed with flying colors; bad and fatal.
This accessible version of ubuntu has managed to frustrate a system 
administrator who has installed many Linux and Unix systems over the years 
who is sighted and came over intending to help me get this system 
installed.  Maybe I will try the next release but only if it works as well 
as the current grml beta on this system.
5)  The hard drive earlier had a 2.4.27 speakup-enabled debian system 
working on it just fine and was a 120GB ide hard drive in a sled; 
partitions had been erased by slackware 10.2 in preparation for this 
install attempt too.  We left the computer try to partition and format 
that hard drive for 3.5 hours.
6)  The option to notify developers about bugs does not work; befitting 
rest of performance and fatal.
7)  Anyone has any problems with these findings and can perhaps offer work
   around ideas; please send a copy to kingtut42 yahoo com under
