I can't think of any more where you do the install with orca, but there are other options and they don't all require a second computer or specific hardware.

My favourite is GRML (www.grml.org) which you use speakup with a software synth (look at the swspeak boot option) to perform the install. GNOME isn't installed by default by GRML but it can be installed with very little issue after installing the system. GRML can also be used to install debian, GRML and debian are very similar.

I believe someone has made a speakup enabled version of archlinux, have a look at the speakup list (www.linux-speakup.org) for details on that.

If you have a second computer then other options open up, leaving you with just the requirement of it supporting a remote install via something like ssh and also having GNOME in its package system.

Hi

Let's not forget Opensolaris. It's not Linux, it's another operating system entirely (Solaris), but it too can be installed with Orca if you have a supported sound card. I can't think of any other Linux distributions off the top of my head that can be installed with Orca, though there are other ways to install some of them if you have more than one computer at hand.

    Hello everyone,

 

Got a few more questions, if anyone can help me I'd be very grateful.

 

What other distributions come with orca already installed? I've tried fedora, open suse, and ubuntu (vinux as well) but I'm sure that there's more accessible distributions out there.

 

Also, in ubuntu and open suse, you can install the operating system with orca, so you don't need any sighted assistants. Can you do this with fedora? If so how?

 

Are there any other distributions that can be installed without sighted assistants?

 

Thanks very much!
