I've discovered if you don't enter selections correctly on boot menu you
can't install ubuntu at all. Gnopernicus just closes down access to the
rest of the system if it's started up after the gnome theme plays and that
doesn't allow for running the install program. The espresso application
doesn't talk well at all or maybe nothing does other than the archive
manager outside of gnopernicus. Believe it or not, I managed to get into
the archive manager and don't know what I did to have that happen. I
wonder if that startup.exe file ubuntu uses to bring the system up on the
Live Cd will look for any files with specific names say on a floppy and
adjust its boot options accordingly. I'll have to research that one later
this week. What would be found in say grub.conf that would enable
assistive support? I would be using the blindness option and also the
motor difficulties option. Those two are exclusive on that live CD but
there's a plenty big boot menu there already. It would be helpful to have
two short audio signals for the pc speaker say maybe 1 short beep and two
short beeps for the arrival and departure of the boot screen in the
future. The reason this is the case is that If you don't get the boot
menu to take the options and do start up gnopernicus you're hermetically
sealed inside of gnopernicus until you power down or reboot. Espresso
doesn't talk or didn't and that was even when I got gnopernicus to start
talking first and not have the gnome theme play using the boot screen.
The boot screen seems only to work correctly once a day and it will work
the first time you try to install but what the times are in seconds for
when it first appears and departs is something I can't yet figure out.
When I get ore information on system performance after I get it installed
on this end I'll try to have it out in time for the next release.
