Re: [orca-list] OpenSolaris b129 looking good for testing

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

This sounds good, I will try and give it a go. It seems like possibly 
some of my reasons not to use it may have gone (eg. the lack of 
supported audio devices has probably been resolved or well on the way to 
being resolved by the use of OSS4 in boomer, etc), although I probably 
would still install YASR as I am not confident on gnome and all the 
accessibility stuff working all the time (this is becoming less and less 
but it still can happen and possibly will never go away fully).

Is there anywhere I can find out the state of accessibility in any 
development build? If there isn't anywhere then Will could you keep us 
updated on this (Idon't know how others feel, it may be more of a topic 
for the opensolaris accessibility list).

Also, is it just me or are the latest CD ISO files too big for a CD or 
has a larger capacity CD been sneaked out without me noticing? Anyway if 
the CD is really a problem I have managed to put it on a USB memory 
stick before, I would just prefer a CD (its easier to create and gives 
good clues as to where you are in the boot process due to drive noise).
