Re: [orca-list] lucid and login

[Bill Cox <waywardgeek gmail com>]

You need to enable orca at the boot screen using this special magic sequence:

- Turn on the machine
- Press space every 3-4 seconds for about 30 seconds to be sure you're
at the boot screen
- Press F5 to bring up the accessbility menu
- Press 3 to select the screen reader
- Press enter to get out of the accessibility menu
- Press enter again to continue with booting.

So, in summary:

space every 3-4 seconds for 30 seconds, then F5, 3, and enter twice.

If you do this, Orca should come up talking.  However, there's still
some bugs in gksu, which is used by ubiquity.  If you install this on
your hard drive, installation may stop talking half way through.  If
this happens, reboot and try again from the beginning.
