Re: Orca accessible gentoo install

[Mike Gorse <mgorse mgorse dhs org>]

Well, I'm running Gentoo, but I installed it three years ago in a way that 
was rather unorthodox.  I was already running another distribution and had 
a free partition, so I made a new ext3 partition, extracted the stage 1 
tarball into it, and chrooted into it to complete the install (it was 
mostly along the lines of how one would do it with a LiveCD).

The install is console-based unless there is now a graphical installer, so 
I don't think that Orca would be involved.  The LiveCD apparently includes 
Speak-up, although I haven't ever used Speak-up and don't know if software 
speech is available by default.

There is an ebuild for Orca 1.0.0 but not anything newer.  The components 
that Orca relies on are generally up-to-date (although there isn't an 
ebuild for openoffice 2.1).

I'm not sure if any of this is helpful, so let me know if there is 
anything else I can do or answer.
