Re: fedora 10 live cd

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

Hi Will and All:

Let me ask this here before I take this issue to the Fedora Live CD
list, where I'm also subscribed ...

Booting the Fedora Live CD, one can launch orca from an Alt+F2 dialog,
but this is the orca setup that requires gnome restart. My experience
with it is that it talks as one would expect--if it talks, a question of
audio driver support, I suppose.

However, after gnome restarts, the user must again issue Alt+F2 and
restart orca by hand. My experience is that, if the setup process works,
one can successfully run the Fedora Live image with orca. But it seems
unfortunate to have to reissue the Alt+F2 command. Shouldn't orca simply
start on gnome restart? Is this a Fedora bug? Or a GNOME bug?

I'm particularly interested as SpeakupModified.Org is looking at
enhancing the Fedora Live image expressly for Orca mediated Fedora
installations.
