Re: [orca-list] is cinnamon accessible?

Threaten was an analogy; if the system doesn't start talking soon maybe 
it won't be installed at all.
The way I got to use assistive technology checkbox was through a 
graphical interface in the root account in mate.  I don't know of any

As for ubuntu ubiquity, I haven't tried to run that yet so I know as 
much as you do about that by now unless you tried to run it ahead of me.
