That is correct. As best I recall all you need for orca is the 
gnome-orca.deb package. You'll want to get at least 0.2.5 or newer.

No, Those have their own *.deb packages. If you are using the Ubuntu 
6.06 desktop installation cd festival, gnome-speech, etc is already 
preinstalled.

Ubuntu does not currently ship with orca in 6.06. You'll need to find a 
gnome-orca.deb package for Ubuntu 6.06.

The developers of Ubuntu are quite good about including all the major 
dependancies for gnopernicus and orca in the Gnome that ships with 6.06. 
With little luck you should be able to open up gnome-terminal pass it 
the dpkg install command followed by the path to your gnome-orca 
package, and it will be up and running.

I think you are talking about
orca --setup
which allows you to customize orca in text mode. It's not necessary 
especially if all you want to use is festival. Using a insert+space will 
launch a dialog while orca is running so you can change speech rate, 
pitch volume, etc for fine tuning while orca is running.'

As to that question I'll  write you off list as it is not Orca related. 
Smile.
