Re: [orca-list] What distribution?

Alex, it was easy to get the Fedora live CD to talk once it was booted up.
I just used the "super" key, typed "orca," and hit enter.  It was too quiet,
but I got myself to the sound settings and fixed that.

I gather that it's using the installer that's the tough part for blind
folks.  I gather from a couple of recent messages is that you need to use
the flat review keys and avoid using the tab.  I'm not exactly thrilled
about this, but I admit that they say we actually can do it, which we
couldn't before.

What was difficult about the Fedora live CD?  How do you make it talk?  Is
there a username and password you have to type in a few seconds after it
spins up to get you to where you can launch Orca?  
Is there a nice magic keystroke like in Ubuntu?  Or, does it just spin up
and put you right into the Gnome desktop?

Fedora 19 is now an option, since the earlier "first-boot" problem is no
more; the live installer is usable, though I found it difficult.

If you don't like GNOME Shell, you can stick with an earlier GNOME that
still has fall-back, or try one of the light desktops, like lxde or xfce.  I
found the so-called GNOME Classic, in Fedora's GNOME 3.8 to be almost
inaccessible.  Isn't it done by means of shell extensions? 
Regarding Orca 3.9 in Suse latest 13.1 milestone, I hear, from a reliable
source, that Orca crashes on opening of the preferences dialogue.


Cheers,


Dave
