Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu Hardy Install Instructions (Re: updating wiki?)

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi All:

I just want to get this out before I lose my notes.  I just went through 
an accessible install of Hardy using Orca and then also got the sysadmin 
apps working on the installed system.  Quick notes, and these are 
basically just a compilation of the stuff that's already been posted to 
this list (i.e., I cannot take credit):

INSTALL:

1) Download the iso from http://cdimages.ubuntu.com.  I grabbed the 
latest daily-live from a day or two ago.  Burn it, boot it.

2) When the CD stops whirring in the drive, press return.  You'll have 
just selected the "English" keyboard layout.  I don't know of an 
accessible way to select a different layout right now.

3) Press F5 to select the accessibility setup, then press 3 to select 
the screen reader option.  Press return to exit the accessibility setup.

4) Press the down arrow to select the install option and press return. 
The installer will come up and orca will be running.

5) Install your system - the installer could use some scripting to make 
things a bit more guided via orca, but for now just tab around to 
explore the windows.

6) Reboot.  When the system comes back up, you need to log in 
(silently), and Orca will automatically run when your desktop session 
comes up.

SYS ADMIN:

1) Create root's ~/.orbitrc file (/root/.orbitrc, with and owner.group 
of root.root with a mode of 644 on my system):

ORBIIOPIPv4=1
ORBIIOPUNIX=0

2) Edit /etc/sudoers to add the following line after the line with 
"env_reset" in it:

Defaults env_keep+="GTK_MODULES"

Everything else seems to have been taken care of by Luke and Ubuntu 
(thanks Luke!), at least for my decrepit Toshiba Tecra M2 laptop.
