Hi,
To all those who have been waiting patiently to try Orca: it has now
finally made its way to the live CD (!).
The proof is in the CD manifest here:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/edgy-desktop-i386.manifest
We are still having some overflow issues so the AMD64 and PPC versions
look over-sized and cannot be burned to CD, but i386 looks ok. Get it
here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
I'm just downloading it to test myself, but I'm assuming you have to
start Orca from the command line. Don't rely on the Live CD boot option
magic working at this point.
Try:
* Booting normally
* Alt-F2 followed by 'gnome-terminal' Enter
(or have the Alt-F2 run issues been fixed?)
* Enter 'orca' and go through the setup
* Press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the gnome session
* Wait 30-40 seconds for it to log itself in again automatically
* Repeat the steps to start Orca
Please report any issues here, in Malone or in the forums section:
