Re: [orca-list] debian vs. ubuntu

[Ashley Cox <ash cox talktalk net>]

        Yes, the live cd will have a install icon on the desktop.

You could also install debian with sighted help, then do the following:

go into terminal

do:
sudo apt-get update
sudo aptitude update
sudo apt-get install gnome-orca.

this will find all packages, including espeak and festival.
