Re: [orca-list] Question About Linux Version: Trisquel

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

You just add the ppa and many accessibility related packages will update to much newer versions than may be 
in default repos for your release.
Just use standard package management commands, e.g. sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, sudo apt-get 
install, etc.
Make sure to run the update command  listed above before anything else so the newly added repo's package 
versions are in local databases and will be 
installed instead of the older versions of orca and related software that you had before. This is for Ubuntu 
and related distros/look through list 
archives for exact commands for adding this ppa if you did not save the messages.
