I'll try once more.
For now, when I hear the startup sound, I hit alt-f2, type
Orca <enter>
And nothing happens.
Someone mentioned that soundcards get muted sometimes. Could this happen
after the startup sound? That doesn't make much sense to me, but fitured I'd
ask.

                                 Hi,
If you hear the startup sound but Orca isn't 
speaking, it probably means f5 wasn't pressed 
soon enough to access the menu and choose 
accessibility.  No big deal.  Once you hear the 
startup sound, just do the following.

Press alt-f2, type orca and press enter.  Orca 
will ask a couple of questions, and once you've 
answered those you'll be told you need to log out 
and back in again for the accessibility flag to 
be initialized.  Press control-alt-backspace to 
log out.  The cd will log you in again 
automatically, so once you hear the startup sound 
again, just press alt-f2, type orca and press 
enter.  After that, you should be good to go.

Hth,
Ricky
