Well, I managed to get the iso image file burnt to a straight CD-R, and it
does beep loudly 3 times when you need to hit enter to make it boot from the
live version (virtual one), and although the first 2 times nothing much
seemed to happen, anfter that it does in fact start the version of Ubuntu,
and starts off automatically in the orca preferences dialogue.
I now just need to do a bit more research related to accessing
Ubuntu/Vinux's own menu system/structure to do things like configure
internet connections etc., but will just say that this version/configuration
of Orca does in fact seem a bit better than the first test version of Ubuntu
I had, including the fact that you don't need to start Orca yourself.
Fact is although things like Alt tab, Ctrl + F6 etc. still do what you'd
expect them to after being used to windows, I still need to go through a
piece basic getting started documentation, if I can find one - LOL!
Suppose I just don't know Linux well enough yet.
Stay well

Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Burning Vinux to a CD-RW
Hi Chris,
I also have been having problems burning Vinux 1.4 to a CD! I have tried
many times to burn with my favorite utility, ISO Recorder, which is used
entirely from context menus in Windows Explorer. I have also tried an
unregistered version of Power ISO several times playing with boot options.
I have not gotten any errors, but when I start my computer, it will not
boot from the CD! I also downloaded the ISO file again and checked the
exact byte counts. Nothing seems to work! I have been looking around for
a basic image burning utility from Microsoft that I once used. It was
basic and very reliable. I don't think that it gets installed, it just
runs.
I downloaded the virtual machine as well and might give that a try soon.
I have been excited to find what promises to be a very easy, usable
version of Unix again! I hope I can get past this burning problem and
enjoy its benefits.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Burning Vinux to a CD-RW
Hello all,
I'm trying to burn Vinux onto a CD-RW. I've tried UltraIso, PowerIso and
IMGburn. It seems to burn fine, but with two programs (UltraIso and
IMGburn)I get problems verifying the disk. IMGburn even tells me some
diagnostic but cryptic messages, and also told me that one of the sectors
is smaller than the sectors in the image. Does this therefore mean that
the disk is at fault, and if so should I try another disk, as I've got
ten in total, all CD-RW's? All help would be greatly appreciated as this
is driving me mad! P.S. Oh yes, the problem is it burns ok, but when I
try to start it with the computer it doesn't seem to boot properly and I
no doubt get an error message, to which I've got no eyeballs to help me
read it. Thanks in advance, as this is driving me mad!
