Hi
Is there some special reason you have to use graphical installer?
I have personally found it easier to have a sighted assistant while
installing. He/she does not have to understand much about Linux, only read
the screen and do what i tell to do:-)

I also forgot to mention in my last message that I also tried going to the
gparted program from mate itself using the alt f 1 and going to system tools,
if memory serves that is where it is located
it then launches and the same behavior happens as described in last email
that I sent out.
once again I am not trying to miss spread info but I have trying to figure
this stuff out for several weeks and am about to give up on linux intirely I
really don't want to cause I really like the stuff that linux offers the
blind comunity
thanks
Hank

Well, if what you're saying is true, how was I able to do a complete
install by myself without help and why have other people on the Orca list
had the same success? I'm sorry, but you're spreading misinformation.
Please don't do that. If you're having problems, please ask or do some
research, but please don't assume that Ubuntu, MATE or Orca are
automatically at fault. In this case, you didn't press Super-S when the DVD
booted, so Orca didn't start automatically. You shouldn't be running the
partition manager with Alt-F1 or Alt-F2 regardless. You should get a
message spoken when you press Super-S telling you that the screen reader is
running. This is clearly documented on the Ubuntu accessibility wiki page.
The super key is also known as the Windows key. If Super-S doesn't work,
try Super-Alt-S. Also, no, it doesn't run Terminal at all during the
installation. Orca speaks great in the terminal, even as root with sudo.

Hello you may want to give ubuntu mate a try?
how ever you are unable to run the partition manager when you alt f 1 and
go
to the respective program to run it.
think it is running mate terminal wich causes orca to stop speaking have
yet
to find a fix for this wich is causing me to have second thoughts on
ubuntu
mate and mate as a hole have had nothing but problems with it.
