Some Questions about Ubuntu and Orca

[Kelly Sapergia]

>Hi Tony,
    Thanks for letting me know about MPlayer. Regarding starting 
Orca, I had a heck of a time trying to get it going when I waited too 
long at the boot prompt (last night was the first time I ran Ubuntu 
on my own). When I pressed Alt+F2, then typed Orca, it said to choose 
a language, followed by a list of various languages the thing could 
speak. I tried pressing 1 for default, then enter, but that didn't 
work. In the end, I impropperly shut down the computer (not a good 
thing to do, I know), and was able to get the system started again 
using the method you described.
    Thanks.


Yours Sincerely,
Kelly John Sapergia
