There's a neat trick I use for my Arch system. Once you got the base
system installed from the vanilla .iso and it comes up talking
Install xorg/xorg-xinit and Orca/speech-dispatcher and your DE of
choice. Remember the command to start it. You'll need it in a seconnd
once you install dialog/yad. Now clone Strychnine from
git.2mb.codes/~stormdragon2976 and go into the directory, and run
./setup.sh -x
With your desktop installed, open up .xinitrc in your favorite console
text editor and go down to the last line. Change exec ratpoison to your
desktop, i.e. mate-session or the correct one for that DE.
Save the file. startx and you get a talking DE without having to mess
with .bashrc or .bash_profile.
I'm not sure I'd automate that bit however, I prefer doing that by hand
but it saves a lot of time in the long run as well with setting stuff up

Hi,
Jenux failed on me, again. I think I'll give it a skip for now, that
is unless the dev actually fixes the thing.
I am on Fedora, for now, because it was the nearest Usb stick I could
grab quickly.
I might just give the vanilla Arch ISO another go. Why not?

or Manjaro Architect.
Personally. I've had success with the vanilla Arch ISO and the guided
installer (the archinstall one), I just set it to boot up talking,
went through it and added in alsa-utils/espeakup and then put
speech-dispatcher/Orca/voices and a window manager on once the system
was installed.
Jenux has never really worked for me on a VM or bare metal at all,
whereas the official arch ISO is working rather well, and I dunno if
the Architect edition is 36/64 bit or 32bit only or 64bit only.
Admittedly, I've got a 64bit UEFI system so the official ISo works
flawlessly on it however, but YMMV on that oneYes, but you probably
don't want to hear it if you are set on using Jenux however.

Hi all,
I decided to give Jenux another go, last time, no matter what I
tried, I couldn't get orca to come on after logging in to the system.
Does anyone have any advice?
Also, if this doesn't work out, is there a guide for doing a Manjaro
architect install? "Manjaro Talking" got updated a little while ago,
and if, as I said, Jenux doesn't work out, I'd like to give that one
a go.
Thanks so long.
Warm regards,
