Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu Windows installer, now with accessibility!

["Paul Hunt" <huntp ukonline co uk>]

Hi,

Has this installer recently been updated (I mean since the Hardy beta?)

Because I tried it from the beta and although you could run the installer 
and choose to  have Orca enabled from it, once you rebooted and picked 
Ubuntu from the menu for the firsdt time you didn't get speech straight 
away.  you needed sighted assistance to  finish the installation, or has 
this now been changed?

Also, about the new install option booting from the live CD.  Once you press 
enter for English and then down arrow and press F5 are the accessibility 
options the same as for Gutsy etc?  i.e. 3 for Orca with speech?  And if you 
choose to boot the desktop can you then run the installer without any 
"hacking"?  Or is this still necessary.

Btw your work towards making accessible installation of linux is very much 
appreciated.

Paul
