Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu Hardy Install Instructions (Re: updating wiki?)

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Hermann:

Are you running the installer from the live mode, or are you running the 
installer from the boot screen?  I've found that running the installer 
from live mode doesn't work well.  Instead, you need to select the 
"Install Ubuntu" option from the initial boot screen.  This is step #4 
in the terse notes that I wrote, and it might be easy to miss.  If 
you're already doing this, then you and I must have different hardware 
configurations where it works for me, but not for you.  :-(

BTW, my apologies to everyone -- I didn't have time to write up a short 
introduction to Linux to describe what things like the tilde character 
mean and how to create/edit files.  From the comments I've seen, I've 
learned that there is still an extra level of Linux understanding that 
is needed here. I'm sure Luke from the Ubuntu project is listening and 
will work to improve things the next time around.

Regardless of the roughness around the edges, I still think Luke and 
Ubuntu are to be commended for their work on an accessible install.  It 
*is* good work.  We need to continue to be supportive of them and offer 
constructive comments for how things can be improved.  I know I'm 
watching and listening in preparation for Sun's work on an accessible 
install for Open Solaris.

Thanks!

Will
