Wow, you are a great help. I can't thank you enough. This seems to be a
very accessible distro. I will certainly consider putting next to my
wiindows.
Thanks a lot my friend.

Thanks a million. I just figured what I was doing worng. I just realized that hitting alt-f1 or alt-f2 does not work on my laptop. I needed to push the function key along with the alt f1 or f2 for it to work. Now I can access the menus just fine.
I still need to figure out a way of changing the default speech engine, and a way to have it display foreign characters on the Braille display. For example, When I do a youtube search and get a hit in Arabic or Hebrew it displays the Arabic or Hebrew characters as question marks. I am sure there is a way of dealing with this.
in the next stage, I need to figure a safe way of installing it alongside my windows without screwing u p my windows opperation.
Thanks a lot again for your help.
By the way I am now writing this email using the thunderbird that comes with the accessible Coconut

super-t may get you a terminal which gives you a command line. You'll
know if a $ comes up as a prompt or a # comes up. Failing that alt-+f2
then type mate-terminal or gnome-terminal and hit enter.

Thanks a million for your help. I tried your suggestions to no avail. However, something strange happened, when I connected my braille display it connected to accessible coconut right away. I was able to browse the menus and connect to the internet. During my browsing the speech came on.
I have two questions, how can I get a command line prompt? My second question is, what is the command to turn off the computer? Alt f4 did not take me there.
Cheers,

Press alt plus F2
Type

Press enter.
This should fix it.

Is there a step by step tutorial on how to start?
I downloaded the accessible coconut iso and put it on a bootable usb drive. I was able to boot the machine from the usb, but there was no speech to guide me. I was able to confirm that I indeed booted from usb with accessible coconut by using my iPhone camera. I have no idea how to get the speech going. So please if you have a tutorial, send it my way.

Hello,
When using the live CD, The screenreader started at boot.
But a after I installed it, I get no screenreader at startup.
All settings as far as I know are correct.
The only way to get speech is to go to the run window with
Alt+F2
Then type
orca
And press enter.
I reinstalled linux and got the same result.
As I was doing the install, I checked the box to get updates during the install. Could this be the cause of my trouble?
Thanks,
Rob
