Re: edgy finally installed

[Cody Hurst <churst35 verizon net>]

Hey mike and all,

  I tried downloading a fresh copy of edgy, which I installed by myself,
edgy on my laptop, I just can't seem to get orca to start up when I type
sudo su, followed by orca --no-setup. I get no response. In fact last
night when I did try that, I typed orca at the root prompt and came back
an hour later and the cd was still humming! My pc is an emachine with
256 mb of ram and a celeron 2.8 processor. I don't know why it acts like
this but I really want to get this installed, get rid of windows and
dance on the ashes <laughs histerically>
