    What about choosing other languages?

    Usually I do f2 & 2 (spanish) and f5&3...

The new boot sequence on the Lucid Live CD is very cool, if you're not
blind.  Instead of bringing up console based text to ask your language
whether you want to install or just try Ubuntu, it boots directly into
a gnome session where it asks the same questions in a nice graphical
form with a pretty background image.  However, accessibility options
have not yet been ported from the initial console screen to the new
graphical form.  Instead, for a few seconds during boot, a graphic is
displayed on the screen that indicates you need to press a key to
access accessibility options.  If you press a key while this graphic
is displayed, it takes you to the old boot menu, where you can do the
old sequence to get Orca talking.
