Re: Orca newbi: need help on finding dependencies for orca setup for ubuntu

["krishnakant Mane" <researchbase gmail com>]

hello all,
I am still struggling to get speach access on my gnome desktop with
ubuntu 6.06.1.  I however had one suggestion to make to the developers
and the accessibility management.
why not have those deb packages that can make accessibility work out
of the box after installation of ubuntu?  I mean accessibility with
all possible applications.  I had been told off the list by my good
old friend thomas that to make openoffice accessible there are a lot
of dependencies to be settled and also the default openoffice needs to
be removed and replaced with 1.8 if I recall correctly.
I also want to know if such default acccessibility can b be provided
for firefox as well.
with the kind of work I am doing here in India for accessibility, the
system of depending on the internet for installation is a big big
hurdel.
in our country there are so many pockets of regions where broadband
internet is not available so it will take years for downloading and
installing packages with app-get or similar tool.
in some places getting an internet connection is also difficult.
in such a situation how will a blind person get total accessibility?
and my second question is that can I use cd with app-get to install
development tools?
I got the ubuntu server cd and it seams it has all the tools like gcc,
g++ make and the likes.
so if I want to say have all the dependencies to even build orca from
source can I use my server or desktop cd instead of internet to get
all the needed tools?
thanks,
Krishnakant.
