Re: [orca-list] orca on grml and gnome on grml

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

I have now made the update about openoffice needing the openoffice.org-gnome package to be accessible in the howto.

Regarding the games, yes there is chess for the text console, look at gnuchess, it has various interfaces written for it.

There are plenty of text based games out there, look at the bsdgames package, frotz for the old infocom type games and for those who like it there is a sudoku text game. There's probably plenty more I have missed.

Hi,
 
Can you do a writeup on how to install gnome with orca onto grml?

You can download a howto in text and html format.

  

Also, about how long does it take to boot up a ubuntu live cd with gnome and
orca? 
    

Depends on your machine.

  

and is gizmo accessible with orca? 
    

I've tried it in Winter 2006/07, and the interface seemed to be fairly
accessible. However you've to enter a captcha when setting up yur
account, so I quitted it.

  

Also, why don't some programmers make
a few games for us gnome users such as a chess game and monopoly game or
checkers game or word scramble game or hangMan game?
 
    

I'm not that game expert, but I think there are some chess programs that
are accessible, at least in text mode.
