Aptitude includes fields for compressed(persumably the size of the .deb) and uncompressed(presumably how much space the installed package will take up) sizes for each package, but that's just for that package I can see the total installed size of a package on my rpm-based Fedora system, but I

The Internet connection wouldn't necessarily need to be a problem, one can USB tether from their smartphone, I use this technique for some installers having trouble connecting to a wifi. But overall, it seems weird to me a distro would leave out orca for space reasons, in 2023, when the

And really, is space really that much of a premium on install media? I mean, flash storage is so cheap that it's hard to find anything smaller than 32GB these days, and you have to go back like 20 years to find machines that are limited to CD... and worse come to worse, you can just put extra

Your premise assumes that internet access is already connected and available on the computer where the iso is running and Orca is to be installed. Unfortunately this is not every computer, especially those that must connect to wifi or any other type of internet services that require usernames,

An idea for all linux distributions with orca in their repositories and not enough space to have it on their install disks. Put a question up on the screen and allow a reasonable number of seconds to pass to get an answer. No answer, download and install orca and all of its dependencies, run

Hi all, Seeing that I cannot get Orca to talk at the Fedora 36 install, I've decided to give openSuse Tumbleweed a whirl. I like Ubuntu 22.04 with Gnome just fine, my preferred distro for daily driving is still Slint, but I'd really like to test some more intresting things. -- Warm

No. William Acker was not the original developer of Espeak. Jonathan Duddington was the original developer, and we can only speculate whatmay have happened to him. Did he die? Did he burn out? Did he move and leave no forwarding address? Was he involved in a debilitating accident that left him

OpenSUSE's website is https://opensuse.org/ You can get more information and download it from there. OpenSUSE ships with espeak, as most distros do, although some distros are packaging espeak-ng now, which is the continuation of Espeak, since the previous developer of Espeak itself seems to

I just went to the overview with the super key, also accessible via alt+f1, and typed "install." I think you should just be able to press the enter key at that point, as that should land you on the install button. Imetumwa kutoka Tanzania ___

The last time I did anything with OpenSUSE, it had the screen reader preinstalled on the image, and I only needed to press alt+super+s to start it. Once a distribution begins shipping the Orca screen reader, it usually doesn't stop. I don't think there would be any difference using Tumbleweed
