[Oralux] VM and gnome
Hi Doug and all, I tried to do the .vm file *exactly* the way you told me, but that still didn't work. I did, however, manage to run Pine off my hard drive. Now I'm trying to get gnome to work when I boot up from the hard drive so I can set up Gnopernicus. I did manage to log in, and I found a mouse. But all I'm getting is the log window; no icons or xterm window or anything. So how can I get to xterm or something where I can enter a command?

[Oralux] VM and gnome
Hi Terrance, If you can get gnome running, put in an Emacspeak icon. Clicking on this will give you Emacspeak from which you can run shell (M-x `shell' RET) or a root shell (C-e C-r) or a terminal (M-x term); the last is not recommended for really visually challenged people since Emacspeak doesn't work too well in this situation. I use gnome though not Oralux and my .xinitrc launches X windows with gnome as window manager and emacspeak running. I do have the doggy icon on the desktop anyway for the very rare occasion when I've gotten myself into a tangle and have to quit emacs. I prefer this to shutting down X by doing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, because if I quit emacs files are auto-saved and can be recovered.
