Re: [orca-list] FW: Ubuntu accessible install is now here, from CD boot.

["RJC" <rjc MIT EDU>]

I believe the "blindness profile" is the third option in the accessibility 
boot menu.
Try either pressing downArrow twice after pressing F5 or press the number 3 
on the top row of the keyboard after pressing F5.

Hope this helps. Its been awhile since I've tried this and it was back on 
Ubuntu 8.10, so things may have changed.
