Re: [orca-list] What distribution?

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Yeah, mine was rather quiet too. However, my media keys actually worked 
this time so, raising the volume was a very simple thing.

Man, it's gonna be hard not to hit that tab key!  It's built into muscle 
memory by now to use it while navigating a dialog.

Someone mentioned something called a kickstarter file earlier in a 
discussion about installing Fedora.  Can someone provide a fast and 
dirty step by step on how to do this?  Perhaps, it's easier to do than 
messing with poorly accessible dialogs.  I figure once Orca is talking, 
it's an easy matter to write a text file with Gedit or Nano at that 
point.  What do you put in it and where do you save it so it can be used 
for installation purposes?

Thanks.
