Re: Gnome and Ubuntu 6.06?

Hi, Thomas,

Gnopernicus is on the desktop CD and on the alternate CD. Just put the CD 
into the drive and reboot your machine. Make sure your computer boots from 
the CD drive first. If you have the desktop CD, your computer will boot into 
a LiveCD, which is basically an OS that runs from the CD. On the desktop you 
will see an icon for installing the system. Double-click on it and you will 
see that installation is very simple. Be careful with partitioning! Do you 
have free space on the HDD, or an empty partition that you can format 
without losing data ?

About Gnopernicus: what do you need ? The text-to-speech program or the 
magnifier ? Once you've installed Ubuntu, go to System > Preferences > 
Assistive technologies. Enable assistive technologies and select the module 
you want to load (speech, magnifier, braille, onscreen keyboard...). Then 
click Log Out, log back in and you'll have Gnopernicus on.

Are you familiar with other Linux distributions ? Do you know what root is ? 
If yes, don't worry if Ubuntu doesn't ask you to create a root password. You 
can use sudo with your user password to execute commands with administrator 
privileges.

I'll be glad to help you if you have more questions.
Have a trouble-free install !
Aurelian Radu
