Hmmmm, it doesn't seem to do much of anything for me. I get the sound at a
low volume (wish I could turn it up) but control-alt-f1 and typing in orca
and hitting enter does nothing. The system I use linux on has an SBLive
value sound card in it. I always knew that card was a linux nightmare in the
high school days 5-6 years ago, but surely thought support got better.

Subject: Re: speaking lynix install?
Ubuntu now has a live CD with Orca on it, so for a newby like Kevin and
myself, this is the best bet. My friend and I tried the modified speakup
Fedorra distro and we were having problems because for some reason in the
middle of the install it would always reboot and actually made such a mess
of the boot manager setup that my friend had to use a mini linux install
of
another distro to fix it. He's now going to help me so we can see if we
can
rather use the Ubuntu live CD. I think their's even an installer. We've
tried Oralux, but you can't install it, the speech is poor, and I'm don't
like emacspeak and am not so used to the text interface for yasr. What's
grml, and how can you get a speaking install from it?
For the howto on how to start up Ubuntu with orca, look at
