One put the cd in let it spin up five seconds. Press enter. Wait for the ubuntu sound thirty seconds or so. Pres left alt+f2, then type orca. Go through the setup close. Now prescont+alt+backspace. Finally press left alt+f2 type orca. Now you have orca.

The CD starts quite quickly and then there is a 30 second break during which you must press F5 or it just boots 'normally' without speech. btw -- we've had a lot of feedback on this point and will test a starting sound in the next version that beeps when you should press a key.
