I downloaded the main desktop CD iso, booted the emulated PC from = it, and got speech working. However, I have had trouble following the instructions for getting = an installation started. I go to the Gnome Terminal as instructed on = the Orca page on installations of Ubuntu, sudo su to root, andquit Orca. From this point, starting up Orca again doesn't seem to yield = speech. I type: orca --no-setup --disable main-window again as instructed. I then get the message about Orca starting up and = switching to focus tracking mode. However, this is all I get. No = speech after at all. =20 I can type 'ubiquity' as instructed, but am not sure if it comes up = at all. What I'm asking, then, is if anybody here could give me instructions = on how you got Ubuntu installed? Thanks, Zack. PS: After it's installed, how would I use Speakup with it in text-mode? =
