Re: [orca-list] no speech with orca and mate desktop

[Don Raikes <DON RAIKES ORACLE COM>]

Actually, I created a live dvd image and used dd to put it onto my flashdrive.  

I found that I was missing a few packages and also some configuration stuff was wrong, so now I think I have 
it just about working.  I just need to automatically start speech-dispatcher and brltty on boot/reboot and I 
think iwill have it working the way I want.

Did you do a typical flash drive install, i.e. using squashed filesystem(s), or did you install to your flash 
drive as if it were an internal hard-drive, or other standard drive goingthrough the standard Debian 
installation process, well  actually maybe there is another one besides the one I've always used with the 
net-install images.
