Re: [orca-list] Orca at install time on Ubuntu server 15.04?

[Rob Whyte <fudge thefudge net>]

Hi,
talk to your teachers and use the Debian net installer instead.
Tell them that it is a minimal iso that you can have speech from the
beginning.
When it is booting push S and enter, or arrow down in the menu that
first comes up and hit enter on the last item for speech.
That way you can prove you can instal and you can do it supported by speech.

Good luck
Rob
