not quite a ubuntu user yet

[Jude DaShiell]

The last build on the daily current CD was done if memory serves May 30, 
2006 and version is 6.06.  The download site is: 
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ It's dapper drake and we let 
the install partition automatically and got this result.  Partitions as 
read with slackware's fdisk were hda1 hda2 hda5 and swap no labeling on 
any of them I don't know how that happened and /boot was nowhere on that 
hard drive.  This is a 1999 vintage Dell out of warranty with a 350GB hard 
drive installed on a drive sled.  I have debian working on this machine on 
another hard drive but that was a speakup version and talked so I was able 
to install myself.  The disk debian is on is the same size ubuntu was 
permitted to install itself onto too so I can't figure out what's going 
on. Oh, the accessibility start up instructions are at: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/doc/StartGuide Probably good for you 
to find out what I used to do this install too.  I got to the boot: screen 
with sighted assistance then hit f5 and then down-arrow three times then 
hit enter twice.  After that we quit out of the preferences screen and 
chose install when install and examples came up.  After that the 
installation appeared to go fine until it was time to remove the ubuntu cd 
and reboot.  Now if I put the ubuntu CD in and do nothing eventually I 
hear the gnome sound theme come over the speakers but during the 
installation I couldn't get speech going and those instructions on the 
StartGuide wiki make no sense.  The reason they don't make any sense is 
those instructions tell you to log out then logback in again and then run 
gnopernicus.  Only problem was when we did that install, we did not hear 
the gnome theme play over the speakers before the installation and 
examples menu came up.  Maybe we should have waited or quit out of that 
box.
