Hi Alex,
I installed 11.04 a few days ago in VBox and it went pretty well. I
booted up the machine, then started tapping the spacebar for about
twenty seconds to get the keyboard language screen up, from there I
hit F5, followed by the number 3 on the number row, then enter. That
enables accessibility and Orca. Within about a minute or so, the
desktop loaded automatically and Orca came up talking. It was in
GNOME2 since I disabled 3D in my VM so I could use GNOME; I've not
tried Unity yet.
The first time I booted the CD I don't think I was quick enough to get
accessibility support enabled as it just loaded the desktop and Orca
did not speak.
Installation was not too painful, just hit enter on the Install icon
on the desktop. Orca didn't tell me when it was finished but I just
hit the enter key and it restarted into the new system.
HTH,
Alex

Hi, all,
I'm interested in trying out Ubuntu 11.04 prior to its
vinuxification ;). Here's waht I'd like to know:
I want to download the .iso and then run the OS in VMware inside of
Windows. How do I make the thing talk? Could someone describe what
happens when you start up the iso file?
Is there a menu? Does a gdm login dialog come up? If so, how do you
get it to log in? I want to get to a point where I can type orca and
press enter to have Orca launch as in alt f2 or something like that.
If these thigns ahve been answered somewhere else, please point me to
the url where I can find it.
Thanks.
