Re: Orca Running on the Edgy Live CD -- HOWTO

[Joanmarie Diggs <j-diggs comcast net>]

Hi all.

Henrik, this is awesome!  Thanks for doing it!!

Minor suggestions:

1. Include a statement about the current need to use a *32-bit* Live CD
rather than the 64-bit one.

2. Under step 4 (exploring the Ubuntu menus) and/or step 5 (installing
Ubuntu), perhaps mention the relevant command just to get the person to
the menus and/or the desktop.

3. Somewhere possibly include a link to the current GNOME Desktop
Accessibility Guide.  I've found the keyboard navigation section to be
quite helpful.

Regarding Rich's observations:

I agree that this is easier and less likely to result in mistakes.  If
there is value in sticking with Alt-F2 for the sake of consistency, what
about checking the "Run in terminal" checkbox after typing "orca" and
before pressing Enter?

I initially had the same problem and found the same solution to work.
Now I cannot reproduce it to save my life...

I do consistently get an error dialog at this point indicating that the
GNOME Settings Daemon could not be started, but in my limited testing it
doesn't *seem* to be problematic.

I agree.  Thanks again!
