If one types
left-alt f2
orca
goes through the orca setup, then closes the orca window,
what is the reason for,
control alt backspace
then typing
orca?
Thank you for your information.

Hello everyone.  Thanks for your hints.  I was able to burn the cd with 
the Mac by using disk utility.
Now all I need to do is to have my box reset so that the cd will boot 
first.  I will let you all know how things turn out.

Hello everyone.  Thank you for all your suggestions.  I see that the 
image size is 698.4 mb.  My disk has a capacity of 698.2 mb.  Also, my 
linux box died about six months ago I think.
The options are for me to use the Mac or windows.
On the Mac, the image would not fit on to the disk.  But today I will 
see how windows handles this.
You will get another e-mail after this.

Hello everyone.  I went to the following site:
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/UbuntuEdgyEft
This site has interesting information about a live cd with Ubuntu.  The 
desktop version for pc's has Orca on it.
The image is a tiny bit larger than an image that could fit on to an 80 
minute disk.  I will write to someone at Ubuntu and find out if this 
image should be on a dvd.  Nothing on the web page suggested burning to 
a dvd.  Just thought someone might like to read about this live cd.
The cd image may be downloaded from:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/edgy/
and I will let everyone know if the matter of the image being too large 
can be solved by burning it on to a dvd.
