Re: [orca-list] what distro for orca?

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

I think you're refering to the Ubuntu thing called wubi?  Not sure 
whether you get an accessible installation out of that, but, when last I 
looked at a Ubuntu live cd, it was still there.  Your best bet, re: 
Ubuntu 12.04, may be to just run the live cd.  When you boot it, hit 
'ctrl+s', when you hear bongo drums, and orca will start talking.  At 
this point, you can choose 'continue testing' or 'try ubuntu', without 
installing.  You'll be able to run the system from your flash drive or 
cd, without effecting your machine.  When ready to install, go ahead and 
hit the 'install release' option.





HTH,
