Re: [orca-list] got to play with orca and gnome!!!!

Hi Josh:

Congrats!  The very first time you run Orca, you will be prompted to set 
up some preferences.  From there, you shouldn't need to rerun the setup 
utility (i.e., orca -t for text setup mode).

We've made a recent addition to Orca that will let you configure whether 
you want it started automatically when you login as well, so won't need 
to launch it by hand each time.

If your final tech project permits you to go outside Linux, but stay 
within the open source community, you might also try OpenSolaris 
2008.11.  It has an accessible live CD and install:

http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/status/accessibility/AccessibleLiveCd/
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/opensolaris/2008/11/osol-0811.iso

Good luck!

Will
