Re: [orca-list] Accessible Rolling Release Distro

I have also found installing Arch very straight forward, so I'm a bit
befuddled by what the problem might be. In fact I did an install on a
mew machine just earlier this summer using an iso image from:

https://talkingarch.info/

Note there's another Arch installer with Speakup here:

https://tarch.org/

The biggest complication I can think of is networking. If you use a
wired connection, things should proceed smoothly. If you try to use
wifi, things can get complicated quickly.

Once upon a time, many years ago, I maintained a howto install Fedora
using Speakup document. That process was far more complicated than the
process of installing Arch today, imo.

My bottom line on this topic -- If Arch is too hard, stick to one of the
spins that provides a functioning desktop off the DVD or USB stick.
Mostly, these support copying the working environment to a fixed disk.

Example: You can get a functioning Debian from grml.org rescue
environment to install to a fixed disk. Of course that doesn't provide
Orca and a graphical desktop.

Best,

Janina

   I don't recall that Arch took much effort to get everything working
   when I last installed it. I am currently running Arch, and the
   maintenance is fairly straightforward.

   I have also used Debian Unstable and Debian Testing in the past. My
   advice is to be prepared to deal with the occasional update problem,
   but for the most part, Debian Testing should be reliable - assuming
   that they're keeping up the quality for which they have a strong
   reputation.

   Hello,


   No arch because it takes lots of fiddling about to get anything
   working, and I unfortunately don't have the time for that. I am looking
   for a system that works, but I do want a rolling release.


   Thanks.

     Maybe
