Accessibility in Ubuntu - Screen Magnifier

[Erik Bågfors]

I haven't tried it personally and I don't know if it's included in the
live cd.  But in a installed ubuntu warty you can go to Computer ->
Desktop Preference -> Assistive Technology Preferences.

There you can choose "enable" and then "start the .... every thime you
log in: Magnifier".

However, also read the text on the bottom, you must have the
"gnopernicus" package installed. You also seem to need to logout and
log back in again.

Good luck, hope it works for you.

Regards,
Erik
