Re: [orca-list] ot Opensuse

[Mike Gorse <mgorse alum wpi edu>]

I think that our installer needs some work in terms of accessibility. At 
least in the past, one could install using the Gnome LiveCD (this is 
available for Tumbleweed but not Leap), but, the last time I checked, I 
couldn't find the "live installer" in yast anymore. I think that the DVD 
has a KDE-based GUI (theoretically, orca should be able to read it, but we 
need to get it added to the installation image and test it). I usually do 
installs via ssh, but that only helps as a work-around if you're 
installing to a vm or have another computer to log in from.
