[ubuntu-in] Loaded Ubuntu 7.10 in my desktop

[74yrs old]

Dear Swaroop,
I appreciate for detailed information.  .I like to test on LiveCD of ubuntu
(not installed on machine)
Will you elaborate step by step to install baraha type software . First I
shall
download software from the website (website address please)  on  the  HDD
in Windows.  Then  with
help of LiveCD I shall install the same and run test.  I trust  linux baraha
software will work just like
in Windows. I shall feedback.
I  should have done long  back but  delayed  due to concentration on
generating datafiles of  Kannada (kannada is very complex script) and
testing by using TesseractOCR - which 90% improved.
.
