Re: [orca-list] Open suse latest version with orca? Setting up orca on live cd? And accessible installer?

[Robert Cole <rkcole72984 gmail com>]

Hello, Mike.

When I worked with Orca on a Linux Mint live session as well as a Fedora 
16 live session, the terminal window closed before I could enter 'y' for 
the question "Do you want to log out now?" I had to manually log out. 
I'm not sure why the terminal window closed unexpectedly as it did. I do 
not know if this is the same thing which you are encountering, but I 
just wanted to share my experience in case it is.
