http://live.gnome.org/Orca/SysAdmin might contain the steps you need.

This is good, and if Orca is working when you log in as root, most the 
stuff you need is already in place.  I think the missing thing might be 
the .orbitrc file for root:

sudo su - root
cat > ~/.orbitrc << EOF
ORBIIOPIPv4=1
ORBIIOPUNIX=0
EOF

Thanks so much for the translations.  The GNOME translation team is just 
plain awesome and I'm so amazed by all the work you all do.

Me too!  We are on the bleeding edge of making accessible live CDs and 
accessible installations.  This is great stuff, but there are definitely 
a number of issues that need to be resolved.  It keeps getting better 
and better, though.
