Re: [orca-list] orca problem with fedora 9

["ashley" <ash cox talktalk net>]

Hi.

Why use fedora 9? Fedora 10 is much better and more stable.

You can find the live CD at:
www.fedoraproject.org

In the download area.

Also, I don't think the fedora images on the speakup site are very good if 
you want a full fedora 9 installation. Use the images from the fedora 
website instead.

As for orca, Doing alt+F2 and typing orca, then following the instructions 
normally works. To select the speech engine, press 1 or 2 and then press 
enter. The version of orca in fedora 10 is a lot more stable. Fedora is a 
great distribution. And VMware workstation is a cool piece of software! I 
use the windows version and it's helped me a lot.

Good Luck!

Ashley
