Re: Linux without sighted help

Please I need something that won't boot from a CD, since I don't have sighted help to change the boot sequence. If there is any distribution or virtual consol that can work under windows or boot when Windows is already on the computer?

Thanks,

Imbar

http://www.grml.org/ has an iso file for download. It's a livecd that can also be used to install linux if you like it. Try booting and when the disk stops for a few seconds type grml swspeak then hit return. If you have a sound card with active speakers you'll hear a message saying grml finished booting and telling you to type swspeak again. This is only necessary if linux isn't installed on the hard drive. Type swspeak again and you'll have speech.

 yes, Ubuntu live cd for gutsy (7.10) works pritty good.
 after you put the cd inside and start booting, keep the hand to the cd
 rom drive and the moment it stops vibrating, press f5 then number 3
 and press enter 2 times.
 the system will boot with the orca screen reader.
 just in case you fail to do so, let ubuntu boot and then press alt +
 f2 and type orca.
