Re: [orca-list] Orca at install time on Ubuntu server 15.04?

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

If the virtual machine is pre-configured, you could just circumvent the whole mess and use something like 
Putty to log on to it "remotely" from your windows installation.  It'll have its own IP address.  
The kicker will be in figuring out what it is.  Sighted assistance may be required initially.  Then, you['ll 
want to set up a static ip address so you don't forget it.

If you have to build it yourself, though, definitely go the Debian route.  Much easier.

Do you mean that you think the ubuntu server installation disk is probably inaccessible? Because speakup is 
now just a set of kernel modules. The ubuntu kernel developers would have to exclude it deliberately. I have 
only virtual machines to check it on but modinfo shows me that the speakup_soft module is included on my 
ubuntu 15.04 server. But I didn't do that install.
