The Orca Ubuntu documentation page has a lot of information on obtaining Ubuntu & and getting Orca up and running on it. Please see: http://live.gnome.org/Orca/UbuntuDapperDrake Also, there is a vibrant Ubuntu accessibility community that may be able to help. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/ and their mailing list at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility Regards, Peter Korn Accessibility Architect, Sun Microsystems, Inc. _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
