Re: [orca-list] GParted Live CD with Orca?



Hey folks,
I am new to the list, and I just started using Orca and Ubuntu as well. Demetry I don't know how this compares to a separate partition, but I chose to install Ubuntu within Windows. I believe it was the second option. What ends up happening is Ubuntu creates a directory in the root of your Windows partition called (Ubuntu). It also gives you a boot menu at start up and so far all seems well. Question for the long time users: is this OK to do, or would it have been better to resize my Windows partition and install Ubuntu in its own partition? It was very easy to install this way because it was just like a typical Windows install with Jaws speaking through out.
Should I redo my install? Are there any real disadvantages?
Looking forward to using Ubuntu and Orca,
Vinny

Hi,

I'm a new member here and a new user of Ubuntu with GNOME accessibilities.

I have some questions:

I tried to install Ubuntu with Orca but my braille display will not
supported it (?). It's a PAC Mate with 40 cells from Freedom Scientific.
When I chosen the entry "Braille Terminal" from the boot menu my braille
display don't works. Only the Orca speech I can use successfully.

Normally, I use a PC with Windows XP Home and as second system I will
install Ubuntu. But the file system is a NTFS. I tried with the Desktop
CD to repartition the hard drive. But I had no luck.

I searched on the web and found this one here at
http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/. Awesome idea this Live CD!

Anywhere it's possible with Orca? But I'm blind and I have not a sighted
people yet. Would be a idea?

Best regards,
Demetry
