Hi all.
I am proud to announce that finally, there is an easy way to use the Ubuntu gui 
installer, ubiquity, with orca. The instructions below will get you from CD 
boot, to a totally accessible installer in a matter of minutes. No longer will 
you have to boot the live CD, and do several hacks just to get access to the 
installer.

Booting and using the installer.
1. Insert the CD into your computer's CD drive, and boot as normal.
2. When the CD boots, unlike previous versions of Ubuntu, a list of languages 
will be shown, with the default as English. You need to either press enter, or 
somehow select the language you want with the arrow keys, and then press enter. 
Once you have done this, you will then have access to the CD boot menu, and the 
accessibility profiles.
3. At this point, you can either boot into the live CD and the desktop, or boot 
directly into the installer. To boot into the installer, press the down arrow 
once, then press F5, and select the accessibility profile you want. Then press 
enter once again to star the bootup process.

Note. When you boot into the installer, the desktop is not loaded at all, 
however the orca window will be accessible, if the profile you have chosen uses 
orca in any way. Once the installer has loaded, you will find that focus is 
already on the installer window. You can quit the installer if you wish. Doing 
so will then send you into the live Desktop, with orca loaded, as normal.

I'd like to publically thank those on the Ubuntu installer team who helped me 
get this done. We have needed good access to the GUI installer for a long time 
now, and we finally have it.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, and I'll be happy to 
help you.
