hello,
in context to the questions asked by mohomad and the answers,  I have
a pritty streight forward question.
I keep on going to schools in some rural areas of India.  and for the
blind people out there, ubuntu with orca seams to me as the best
solution.
can some one tell me if I can do an off-line (without internet ) build
and configuration of orca under feisty?
is the build-dep and gnome-common toolchain available on the dvd repository?
what I mean to ask is that if I do sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca
with the ubuntu dvd in the /etc/apt/sources.list file, will the build
dependencies be updated without internet connection?
my question also applies to gnome-common.
if that is possible then it will be a great news for all the blind
students studying in the rural side of a few states in India where
internet is still a rare comodity.
if this is not possible with the dvd, what is the other solution?
by the way just out of curosity, can some one tell me the difference
between the ubuntu cd and the dvd?
does the dvd contain a repository of softwares that otherwise need internet?
regards.
Krishnakant.
