-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 When I installed gnome and orca last year, I used 'pacman -S' to install gnome and gnome-extras simply because I didn't know specifically which packages I would ultimately need. After doing that, I went ahead and started my gnome session with startx at the time and then ran orca from the pressing of alt-f2 to run it under gnome. Orca began speaking with a default voice and prompted me for setup configuration. Zack's method may actually be more strait-forward now. I really need to get me a "sand box machine" I can re-install from scratch and map out the exact steps and post them to the Orca wiki. I don't wanna do a re-install on my current production machine as I need a computer to work with. <smile> On Sun, Mar 21, 2010 at 05:45:17PM -0300, Cleverson Casarin Uliana wrote: > Thank you Zack for all the instructions below.
