Re: [orca-list] LXDE/Openbox menu accessibility

[Mike Ray <mike raspberryvi org>]

Great stuff.  I'm collecting all this info.  I'd like to create some
kind of resource, a web page I guess just devoted to getting an
accessible Linux up and running totally without any sighted assistance. 
I would not want to put anything on there I haven't tested and verified.
The aim would be for posting enough information about
Arch/Debian/Trisquel or any other distro with Gnome/LXDE/XFCE/Mate or
any other desktop, or just a speaking console.  And again, enough
reliable info for a newbie to do it with NO sighted assistance.  Of
course setting the BIOS boot sequence is something we can't do without
eyes.  But nothing else on the pages that require sighted assistance. 
Maybe I'm just stubborn and over-independent.

Finding stuff online is often difficult and when you do find something
it isn't always either accurate or up to date.

So this discussion is very useful.
