Re: Ubuntu 20.04

Hi,\I did lots of fresh installs of Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 for sighted 
users with the great help of Orca. After pressing F12 for the boot menu 
I always need sighted assistance to tell me where my install pendrive 
is. The difference with 18.04 is that the disk is checked and this will 
take few minutes. After this process is ready and no errors found I then 
hear the welcome sound. So then I start Orca.

Hello everyone.  I am using Ubuntu 2020 with a Dell.
When installing Ubuntu mate 2020.04 yesterday, I pressed f 12 to get to the 
boot menu.
Then went to what I thought was the dvd choice.
Since I could not bring up Orca for several attempts, I used Be My Eyes.
The volunteer said that after I pressed f 12, a language choice prompt appeared.
Then the choice whether to use Ubuntu before installing, or to install appeared.
After entering on use before installing I then brought up Orca with super alt s.
Should I have been able to bring up Orca before those other choices?
Is this installer markedly different than with Ubuntu 2018.04?
Had I not had Be My Eyes, how would I have known what to do in this situation?

Hi,
If you want Orca during an install, you should not select install from the 
boot options.
I'm guessing that is what happened when you pressed F12.
Most computers any more, especially one that can run Ubuntu 2020, would not 
need F12 to select the boot device.
It is older computers that didn't automatically do that, because in those 
days, there weren't a lot of reasons to boot to another device.
So the correct choice would be to just put in the disk, boot, and let it go 
for a few seconds, and when it beeps, just press enter.
It will then boot into Ubuntu, and you can press super + S for Orca.
HTH.
