Re: [orca-list] my report on slint



So far as I know, software speech synthesizers or no accessibility are the two ways slint can be installed. I have a doubletalk lt and couldn't get slint to use it for install but then again it could be I didn't have the right boot parameters.

Can Slint be installed using software speech?  It seems interesting, but I don?t have a hardware synthesizer.

Hello,

login-chooser is all lower case and should be typed as root.
Instead session-chooser, also all lower case, is to be typed as regular user.
Yes pidgin is installed.
Many desktops are included but you can choose a default one during installation and change it after 
installation with session-chooser.
I just finished testing the new version but it's 1 AM here, will upload the new ISO and associated packages 
tomorrow (or later today, Paris time).
Stay tuned.

Hi

Thanks for your very patient responses. I didn?t even attempt startx, a novice mistake that I didn?t even 
attempt to try. Login-chooser I tried, I got command not found, although I didn?t know about session-chooser, 
I?ll try that now, I still have the flash drive. Bh wanted to know about the iso size, it?s around 3 gb in 
size, which isn?t bad considering the staggering amount of software you get. Again, these weren?t meant as 
complaints against slint. The text installer is very good, and is very helpful. The inability to pick and 
choose the software isn?t bad, you can?t pick and choose when you install windows, assuming you didn?t 
address that in your other emails. I?m going to run another test, this time installing slint only, instead of 
trying to fit it into a windows setup. This works very well by the way, the installer detects your windows 
installation and offers to mount it and put it in your fstab. I wonder, is pidgin included? It?s an instant 
messenging app. I can?
t
wait for a live version. I?ll download one when one comes out. I should?ve been clearer about options to 
launch desktops. I meant that an option in the boot loader to launch a desktop would be nice, if there isn?t 
already one. I can?t see the screen so there might be one. But I?m assuming that?s what your live version is 
going to be so no need to rush out and add it. I still think slint is a user friendly distro, especially with 
that text installer.

Thanks

Kendell Clark
