In the older version of the live CD I had of ubuntu itself, you had to do
something during boot up to make it start talking, or alternatively once
it's started, I think alt + F2 brings up a sort of run dialogue and typing
in orca, and hitting enter made it start.
The only real version have here now is a relatively recent version that can
boot off a flash drive on some computers, and it does it all automatically.
Stay well

Ok will give that a try as have tried both v.3.01 and v.3.1 of Vinux and
no
sound.
About how long should it take to boot up suing a live cd/DVD which
understand will vary depending on the speed of the computer.
Thanks.

If you had the problem of no sound after installing Vinux 3.0.1, here is a
solution.
you can restore sound by waiting until the system has fully booted then
pressing ctrl+alt+t to open a terminal, and
then typing the following commands exactly as written:
sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio reload
then press ctrl+alt+o to reload Orca.
Then if you're not using a live cd/dvd and would like to make the change
permanent, alt tab back to the terminal and run:
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/pulseaudio
Scroll down and change 'sleep 4' to 'sleep 12' on line 39 then save this
file. Next time you restart, the sound should be fine.

Wondered if anyone has had success using and or getting Vinux for the
blind
to run on your computers ?
Have downloaded several iso copies from the vinux web page and burned it
to
a cd or DVD and booted up my other desktop and don't ever seem to get
speech
to come on using a Creative labs Audigy sound card.
So thought would ask here since thought would be a computing question
more
than a tech question.
Thanks.
