When you hear the Ubuntu startup sound, you can run orca. Do this by
hiting alt-f2, type orca and press enter. If you're on a macbook, you
will have to hit function+alt-f2 instead of just alt-f2. Since you're
running Orca for the first time, it will ask you a few questions to
which you will have to hit y or n to. After you finish answering the
questions, Orca will tell you that you have to log out and log back in
again. After that, I restarted Xwindows by hitting ctrl-alt-backspace.
After you hear the startup sound again, you can hit alt-f2, type orca,
then press enter like you did before to start orca. After you hear
Orca start, you can use the same command to run ubiquity.

You can run the Ubuntu installer called Ubiquity. Let us know if
you want the steps to do that.

Hi
I use orca on ubuntu. It comes packaged with orca 7.4.
I downloaded the iso from ubuntu.com. Then, I ran fusion, I think
you need intel to do that but I am not sure. Created my virtual
machine, and set it to boot up on the disk image directly rather
than from a hard copy cd. Then i started up the virtual machine,
and it began running from the image. Correct me if I am wrong on
this, but a disadvantage of a disk image is that you don't actually
hear the thing going and don't know that it is working.
Personally, I used my partialness to see that it was going. I
think I could say with certainty that what you essentially need to
do is to wait about 5 to 7 minutes, until you hear the linux boot
up jingle. Then perhaps another minute for good measure as it may
be groggy starting up if your computer has the older intel
processors, first generation macbook pro, and is dealing 512 mb of
ram to the virtual machine. Then press alt f2 to bring up the
application run dialog. Alt is option on our computers. Then type
orca and press return.
If you use spread sheet, you need to, when it is loaded, press
insert f11 to make it read by cell. Otherwise it will just read
the whole row of cells as you go up and down. Remember that
inserte is fn m.
I am personally having some slight difficulties with it at the
moment. The lack of keys on my keyboard, and the fact that I can't
get caps lock to work properly has left me somewhat crippled in
ubuntu. Also, I can't seem to figuer out how to make it so that
linux will boot without my iso disk image in my downloads fuldor.
It seems like even though it is installed, ubuntu gets mad when I
delete the image.
