Sorry if this question has been asked recently, but I have been away from this list for quite some time...
I just installed VMWare Fusion 1.1.2 on my Mac G5 here at work. My goal is to get Ubuntu and orca running so I can play with Firefox. I would consider a duel boot mac/linux system, but VMWare seemed like the easier choice for the moment. I was able to setup a virtual machine after lots of messing around with VoiceOver and the VMWare gui. I powered it on and heard the Ubuntu startup sound, but could not figure out how to send input to it. I think part of the problem is that I could not figure out how to configure the keyboard sequence used to switch input between mac and Ubuntu. Are there any special things one must do to get this all working with VoiceOver? Are there places where sighted assistance is needed? I understand that to get Jaws working with VMWare, one needs special key mapping software; is this necessary to get Orca running under a Linux guest? Orca, like Jaws, uses its own modifier key (either numpad-0 or capslock). Thanx for any guidance on this... -- Rich
