You don't want the 64 bit version of Ubuntu. Just choose the regular
personal computer version.

Yes that's correct. When you're in the assistant to make a new
virtual machine, remember to select Linux for your operating system
and Ubuntu.

Orca will be the speech interface, and the installer will speak when
i have installed Orca, correct?

to run from the iso immage
then when it has made the start up sound, follow your insturctions

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.

No, you don't have to run it from the disk image all of the time.
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.
