Hey there, all,
I tried the newest release, and have had little/no success with
it. The install script doesn't run when I click on it and my computer
freezes up. Also, running orca from console 1 told me it couldn't find
the display or something like tat, and/or told me that watchdog detected
something bad, and running it from within Gnome didn't produce *anything*.
Someone over on the gnome-accessibility list, I think it was, suggested
that some of my issues stemmed from the fact that I only had a PC with
433 mhz and 160 MB of ram, and had suggested I try Xubuntu. However, I
haven't seemed to have much luck getting accessibility going on that. So
my questions are these: (1) *Can* I get Ubuntu up and running on my system
even if it does only have 160 MB of ram? (2) If Xubuntu would be a
solution for an old PC like this one, how would I get it accessible? and
(3) What *is* the best option for such a PC as I've described? I've been
using Oralux as my main distro, but there's things that Oralux can't do
that I'd need X to accomplish.
Thanks,
Terrence
