Hello,
I think this might be relevant to my previous posts.  I found some trouble with the Ubuntu7.10 gutsy gibbon live cd.  I couldn't get orca to start automatically, but once I start it manually, it works wel.  To start orca do the following:
1. press ALT + F2 (to bring up the run dialog)2. type "gnome-terminal" (without the quotes to bring up theterminal or command line)3. type "orca -t" (to launch orca with text set-up instead of graphically)4. follow the on-screen spoken instructions 5. close the terminal.  Orca still has control so you don't have a prompt; you'll have to press CTRL + SPACEBAR then up arrow once to close or quit or whatever the label is.6. press ALT + F2 (to bring up the run dialg again)7. type "orca" (without the quotes)
And you should be up and running.  I am told that once ubuntu is permanently installed, orca will start automatically, but I still haven't gotten that far yet.
