Hi Rich.
Have you installed Ubuntu, or do you want to run it from the cd?
You don't need any sighted assistance to get Ubuntu installed. To
switch over to the virtual machine, you can press command control
return or you can press command g to grab the keyboard. I find the
full screen feature more useable.
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Best regards

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...
