For anyone interested and using a Mac...

My temporary solution was to load Ubuntu in VMWare Fusion.  I used the ISO and 
selected the "Quick INstall" option.  After about 5 - 10 minutes I heard the 
login prompt and logged in (no speach) with the credentials I gave VMWare for 
the Easy Install.

After that it is a simple Options F2 to open the Launch programs dialog.  Type 
Orca and press enter.  This will start the Orca setup.
