I can't believe people there is a wealth of information on the net about
installing both redhat and Ubuntu. I have started using Ubuntu over Redhat
because its easier. If you haven't done it go listen to this mp3 and you
will find out how to do it and how easy it is.
http://media.libsyn.com/media/bct/bct1198InstallingUbuntu804WithOrca.mp3
Now Redhat speak up page has a guy you can actually call and he will walk
you through it but Ubuntu is so easy you don't need some one to walk you
through it if you know the keys. The keys to have an install from a live cd
are
1) When you boot to the cd do enter first to select English after the cd
spins
2) Arrow down once to install
3) f5 to pick accessibility menu
4) press 3 for speech only
5) enter to select it.
6) enter to start the installation.
That's it now if you know anything about linux it will walk you through it.
If you don't' know anything about Linux then you need to get with someone
who does but the installation is really not much different than Installing a
mac or Vista it is just a hell of a lot more accessible than Vista and just
about as accessible as Mac install.

Subject: Re: lynix question:
Hello -- while we're on the subject of linux -- I've never installed linux,
but would like to do so on an old laptop.
However I don't know the drivers I need or where or how to find out.
Windows xp is on it how, but it is in a fractured state in which jaws can't
work as something has zapped the video driver, and I don't know where to
find this driver on the net. (It's a long story -- don't ask *frowny*). I
can't roll back the OS because that has been disabled in order to free up
space on the disk.
Does anyone know how to find out what driver I need? Are the drivers the
same in windows as they are in linux? (I doubt it, but I am not a driver
guru.)
If linux drivers are different, where can I find them?
This laptop did not come with recovery CDs, so I assume there is a segment
reserved on disk to put it back in its initial state, right? Has anyone ever
done this? I know it would require sighted assistance, but I am wondering
if the fact that I disabled rollbacks might have zapped this feature as
well. Does anyone know?
If anyone has any answers I would love to hear them!
TIA

The beta is workable, and I recommend that you use the desktop version.
It has an accessible installer.
