I installed Ubuntu under VmWare with the alternate install CD. Only the Braille support is available here, however, it works fine at the installation. If you use a Braille display that is connected via USB, this should be automatically recognized by the installer and thus loaded with the American text table. For a serially connected Braille display, you have to press F6 at the start screen and then enter the following: install brltty=ht,ttyS0,us After the installation, neither BRLTTY nor Orca was started. For starting BRLTTY during the boot process I had to set the parameter RUN_BRLTTY on 'yes' in the file /etc/defaults/brltty. I did this with the help of the KNOPPIX-CD. You start Orca by entering your username when the drumbeat resounds. Then you have to approve the name by hitting Enter. Then, you also approve your password with Enter and are logged in. Now, you call the run dialog by pressing Alt+F2 and enter Orca.
