Re: [orca-list] [Support] how accessible is a dual boot system?



Actually, very close. The line looks something like
GRUB_INIT_TUNE xxx xxx xxx
Personally, I change the frequency of the tone to 880 instead of 440.
I would recommend that you just install Ubuntu 13.04 in place of Windows and avoid the entire bootloader thing. If you need Windows, virtualize it. There's no need to run that insecure and proprietary OS on an actual partition.

When you do the install, with grub as it will happen, there'll be a line
near the bottom of the grub.cfg file that will be commented having the
word sound on it.  Uncomment that line and though you don't get speech,
you do get an extra beep to let  you know it's time to choose.

Hi folks,
I'm thinking of adding a flavor of linux to a freshly restored
computer which already has an install of win7 on it. Is it realistic
to think that i could install sonar or ubuntu 12.4 or the like
alongside win7 and choose, at startup, which I want to boot in to? I
recognize there will probably be no speech at the bootloader screen,
but will I hear anything, or will the scrollbar be wrapping so I may
not know which choice I make?
thanks!
Rusty
