Some audio tutorials for installing archlinux

Some audio tutorials for installing archlinux

[Michael Whapples]

Hello,
I decided to record some audio tutorials for installing archlinux. I 
started by doing one on using the GRML liveCD to do the install, however 
this lead to quite a long recording being just short of two hours. So I 
decided to do one using the speakup modified archlinux installer CD, 
this came out at about one and a half hours (still a little longer than 
I really want).

I decided before finding a permanent home for these, I would let people 
have a listen to the initial recordings (I may try and get a bit more 
editing done on these) and see which people feel are of value. If you 
feel a written copy of these would be better please say so.

The links for now are:
The GRML based install http://www.sendspace.com/file/4s4p17
Using the speakup modified archlinux installer CD 
http://www.sendspace.com/file/e02n38

Thanks for any feedback.

hi. nice job, going to download your arch install cd efforts and see how it 
came out. I, myself have done an arch install, so it'll be interesting to 
compare and contrast our methods.

thanks,
Arthur.

Is there some text tutorial describing the steps to do this? Is it 
easier than installing via the modified CD?

I'm asking for a text because I still have some difficulty understanding 
spoken English, that's not my native language.

Thanks,
Cleverson

Michael,

Wonderful job. I really learned quite a bit as a new Linux user. Here are my
comments though.

1. Considering that the list is diverse, English is a problem. I am Lebanese
and speak Arabic, English and French. However, I have lived in the States
for 16 years and heard so many accents. It took me a couple of minutes to
get used to your accent.

Nothing wrong with it. Yet, I had to listen carefully to pick up on how you
pronounce your words. To solve this, I would recommend you speak slowly.
Also avoid any day to day rambling, as I like to call it. This is when you
do not pronounce the word fully and or you chop off some letters. Those are
really hard on people who do not speak good English and or do not have
experiences with different dialects.

The same goes to your SWSpeak. It was running too fast to understand it. I
would recommend you slow it down. This way, both new and advanced users can
keep up. Let's take as an example JAWS when it first installs. It runs the
default speed rate, which is understandable by everyone. I later end up
increasing it to 50%, which is what I like.

2. I would recommend you have an outline at first. Think of it as a table of
contents explaining what you are going to do in details and each step.

For example, I followed the installation with a few questions. 

1. Did you install SWSpeak first to have speech output than you installed
the operating system?

2. How did SWSpeak knew what sound card you were using and how did it
install without an operating system installed.

Those are the kinds of questions a new user would be wondering. This way,
you can outline your steps and provide the technical background necessary
for people to understand what is going on behind the scenes.

3. Your MP3 broke and Windows Media Player couldn't read it after the
deletion of the partition. It was obvious that the MP3 coding was damaged at
that point. It could be the server you had it on. I downloaded about 27 mb
of the file.

4. If you would like a server to publish it. I would be more than happy to
provide you with space on my server. I am really beginning to get into Linux
and with a FTP account, you can just upload your web site and people can
download it easily. Get back with me on this one if you are interested. You
can e-mail me off the list so we do not waste other members' time.

In summation, great work. I got the feel of how it runs and hearing it is a
great tool. This way, you can follow through.

Re: Some audio tutorials for installing archlinux

[Arthur Pirika]

hi, the file worked fine here. were you using windows to download? sometimes 
internet explorer likes to make you think the files fully downloaded when it 
really isn't. Personally, i found eSpeak to be at just the right rate for 
me, I seem to remember grml having a faster rate by default? But, I, to, say 
good job, mike.
Oh, one question. why do you prefer gnu parted over the other tools on the 
cd? cfDisk, for instance, let's you cursor around your drives, showing 
immediately which flags are selected, the sizes of the partitions, etc. It 
also autofills in sizes, so you don't have to calculate them by hand.

Arthur.

Re: Re: Some audio tutorials for installing archlinux

[Michael Whapples]

Thanks for the feedback. I think then a transcript/written version 
(possibly better not as a direct transcript as I do sometimes ramble on) 
would solve some of the issues with speaking rate, the UK accent, etc. I 
am aware that the recording is quite long as is and slowing down will 
only make this worse, so that's why I prefer written in that case. 
Regarding the speed of the computer speech this is the default on the 
GRML CD, may be the default should be slower.

Now to other matters. The file, that is about the correct size (27MB), I 
don't know why it goes wrong in windows media player, either windows 
media player has trouble where other players don't or may be something 
went wrong in your file transfer. As for why I prefer GNU parted, 
suppose biggest reason is familiarity. I don't know whether cfdisk can 
do this, but should you need to resize a partition then parted can do 
this (WARNIG: you would be well recommended to read parted documentation 
to see how to do this and which file systems it supports it on).

I hope a transcript in print can be offered.  The tutorial sounds

Re: Some audio tutorials for installing archlinux

[Michael Whapples]

I know you contacted me off list asking whether I could make it 
available through another means so you don't need to jump through the 
sendspace hoops. The audio is a bit more difficult due to the size and 
bandwidth restrictions on my website, but I certainly can make a text 
version available through a standard webpage.

Yeah, I was using Windows. Yet, we know Windows has a mind of its own.

I agree with you. A written explanation would be best especially for those
without any language experiences.

Thanks for the feedback. I think then a transcript/written version (possibly
better not as a direct transcript as I do sometimes ramble on) would solve
some of the issues with speaking rate, the UK accent, etc. I am aware that
the recording is quite long as is and slowing down will only make this
worse, so that's why I prefer written in that case. 
Regarding the speed of the computer speech this is the default on the GRML
CD, may be the default should be slower.

Now to other matters. The file, that is about the correct size (27MB), I
don't know why it goes wrong in windows media player, either windows media
player has trouble where other players don't or may be something went wrong
in your file transfer. As for why I prefer GNU parted, suppose biggest
reason is familiarity. I don't know whether cfdisk can do this, but should
you need to resize a partition then parted can do this (WARNIG: you would be
well recommended to read parted documentation to see how to do this and
which file systems it supports it on).

Re: Some audio tutorials for installing archlinux

Hello Mike: I believe we could make space for your recordings and
anyone elses for that matter on www.linux-speakup.org.  These
recordings and/or texts are useful to many folks so they would fit in
well with the sites purpose.

I guess one question may be should they be just placed on the site or
included in the sites git repository?

Re: Some audio tutorials for installing archlinux

[Michael Whapples]

Firstly feel free to distribute the audio as is.

As for the question of whether just on the website or in git, I didn't 
think git managed audio particularly well as you don't modify it but 
replace it. A text/html tutorial would certainly be a good candidate for 
git.

Why not just put them on the FTP site, and link to them from the web?

Re: Some audio tutorials for installing archlinux

Good idea Chris.  I have added the files to the speakup ftp area in a
directory called audio and added links and cleaned up the audio page
and distributions page.  Please check them out to make sure I didn't
miss anything.

Hosting audio tutorials

[Tony Baechler]

Hi all,

I would be happy to host such recordings.  They need not be about any 
particular Linux distro, but they should relate to the blind using 
Linux, such as with Speakup or Orca.  I can also host podcasts if anyone 
is interested in those.  There is no reason why one should use sendspace 
or similar.  In my opinion, I have a problem with sendspace because of 
the advertising, the confusing links, the popups, and I don't know if 
it's accessible in Lynx or other text browsers.  If you would like your 
recordings hosted, please contact me privately to set up an ftp 
account.  If you plan to regularly release new files, a podcast might be 
best, I can help with that also.  Provided that it somehow has to do 
with Linux and the blind and doesn't contain commercial advertising, I'm 
willing to host it.  Oh, one other thing.  The links won't expire as 
with sendspace and such other services.  Note that this is mostly for 
audio recordings and not web sites, but small sites might be welcome as 
well, depending on the content.  Feel free to post this to other Linux 
lists for the blind.  This is not a general offer to host any audio, 
it's intended for blind Linux users.

Re: Hosting audio tutorials

[Michael Whapples]

Hello,
Please remember what I had done at the moment I was classifying as initial 
recordings for feedback. When I produce the final ones I am considering may 
be trying to get them hosted on blindcooltech.com. Also I am thinking I 
probably should have my own blog and wordpress allows files up to 25mb, so 
after editing these it may be possible to get that one installing arch using 
GRML to fit in that limit.

Hi,

I can host WordPress podcasts and blogs for you.  I'm not sure what 
limit you're talking about unless you mean a setting in php.ini.  If you 
upload with ftp, there is no size limit.  I've downloaded several huge 
mp3 podcast enclosures from sites running WordPress.  Even just for 
temporary recordings, I don't mind hosting them.  Blind Cool Tech is 
also a good place if you prefer.  I was just offering since it sounds 
like you might be producing several over time.  I can give you your own 
space with ftp access so you can delete and add as you wish.  Also, how 
are you going to license these?

Re: Hosting audio tutorials

[Michael Whapples]

The file size limit I was meaning is the limit imposed on wordpress.com 
free hosted blogs.

As for licensing, not fully considered, but basically enough to say take 
them as they are, information given on good faith but no warranties of 
suitability, and the freedom for anyone to host as is. Obviously I 
cannot impose any restrictions on knowledge you gain from them.

RE: Hosting audio tutorials

[Sina Bahram]

I have tons of web space at a pretty good speed, anywhere from 350kb/s to over a few megabytes per second, and I don't mind the
extra bandwidth per month.

I'm also willing to purchase a domain name for vinux, if that's necessary, and host wordpress on it, since I have access to cpanel
and such, and it would all be a few clicks for me to setup.

However, if you just want to use me for my space and my speed, *grin*, feel free to coordinate with me off list, and I'll get you
setup with a username/password, and you can upload the MP3's or whatever to my web space, then link to them from your blog.

No file size limitation this way or any other kind of limitation.

Let me know if this is useful in any way.

Take care,
Sina

The file size limit I was meaning is the limit imposed on wordpress.com free hosted blogs.

As for licensing, not fully considered, but basically enough to say take them as they are, information given on good faith but no
warranties of suitability, and the freedom for anyone to host as is. Obviously I cannot impose any restrictions on knowledge you
gain from them.

This is what I get for having two different emails open at the same time :P.

Ignore half of that message.

Michael, the offer does stand for the web space and such, but you obviously don't need a domain purchased for vinux, *grin*.

Take care,
Sina
