Hi people, I can't remember where to get the image from, and I can't find it 
on any of the archives.

Cheers.

Hi,
i downloaded the alternate version and with it, you can install with
brailesupport.
When booting press "f6" and type:
"install brltty=cb,ttyS0,de"
which worked for my combibraile and german layout.

Please be aware, that on the installed Partition brltty does not start
automatically and you have to make the changes yourself in the brltty.conf.

another method to check on the live-cd:
press ctrl+alt+f1"
type sudo brltty -b cb -d ttyS0 -t de
(the commands for my Brailedisplay) and the Braildisplay will work
then orca -t
-which is a textversion to setup Orca, with Speech and braile

good success
Lutz

> Hello,
> After such a good experience when trying ubuntu from the CD (using it on
my laptop), I thought I may as well install it on my desktop as I have the
blank partition and then decide which I prefer when I actually have it
properly installed. This is where the problems started.

> Unlike with my laptop, it didn't work out just put the CD in, specify at
boot time the accessibility features, and then get going with gnome and
orca. The CD seemed to boot OK, the screen went brighter (I assume gnome had
started), but no speech. Unfortunately I can't make out if orca has actually
started, but I would guess it had (as I believe gnome had started, and it is
not hardware dependent). Due to having two sound cards in my desktop, I
shutdown, and removed the one card (the Terratec dmx 24/96, as the other
being built in to the MB). Tried restarting, but still no luck, although I
do know that in booting I got a click through the soundcard as if it was
started. The sound card is normally supported by alsa (as provided with
kernel sources) and is a Soundmax card. It uses the intel8x0 driver, which
is the same driver as the laptop sound card, although that is reported as
sigmaTel audio.

it (I have an apollo synth, and an alva 544t)? Also I could try with my
audigy2 USB sound card to get orca speaking, but I don't know how the
selection of card will happen when more than one card is present.
