Re: [orca-list] Orca continiously talking?

[Victor Tsaran <vtsaran gmail com>]

Hi Paul,
The problem is that these instructions are almost impossible to follow 
if you are running Ubuntu inside a virtual machine and using ISO image 
instead of a CD. What often happens to me is that I boot up into regular 
Ubuntu and then enable Orca afterwards through "Sessions" dialog.

Thanks,
Vic
