I have the console-based installation working but didn't get the desktop one to work. Since I have a printer and sometimes do data base work, I chose 1 3 7 10 for the desktop additional software to be installed. When the system rebooted, I got prompted to log in so logged in as the user account and everything went silent. Attempting to log in as root invariably resulted in authentication failure. Could the screen-saver program be disabling orca from talking after a successful login? If so, what desktop keyboard command can be used to tell the screen-saver to stop saving the screen at least long enough for orca to speak? The desktop installation also threw lots of exceptions spoken by the litetalk speech synthesizer on the way to a boot up. When I built the system as console-based using 3 7 10 on software selection screen and omitting the 1 for desktop utilities, I heard none of these exception messages being spoken.
