I have just uploaded the first Alpha version of Vinux 2.0  - it is a
very basic
release which does not yet have many of the features that Vinux
usually
has. It is based on Debian Lenny and all I have done for now is to
create an Installable Live CD with Orca enabled and configured by
default using Alsa and Speech-Dispatcher. I have also made the
standard
Orca SysAdmin changes so users will be able to run admin apps, but I
have not modified the menu launchers so you will have to launch admin
applications from the terminal by entering 'su' followed by your
password and then type the relevant command.

The primary purpose of this release is for people to test the basic
screen-reading performance of Orca with Alsa and Speech-Dispatcher.
There are still many things to do and some things I tried to do but
could not get to work. The main priority at the moment is to get Orca
running and enable ethernet/wireless access, because once you have
speech and an internet connection you are then able to sort out most
issues yourself.

I have been unable to get YASR working at all, with Eflite, Festival
or
Speech-Dispatcher, and festival doesn't work with Orca either so I
have
removed both applications for now. I have installed Brltty and
enabled
Braille in Orca but I was unable to find the usual /etc/defaults/
brltty
file which starts Brltty at boot.

I would therefore like feedback on both the performance and stability
of Orca and information on whether the wireless connections worked
out
of the box. If so please let me know the laptop and wifi card details
if possible; and if wireless doesn't work or you manage to get it
working
yourself please let me know how you got it working and I will
incorporate
this into the next next alpha release. If anyone is brave enough to
try
installing it then I would like feedback on the accessibility of the
new
installer - remastersys-installer. This should be launched from the
terminal if you require speech, just type 'remastersys-installer'
after
switching to su, or type 'remastersys-installer intl' if you want to
choose a language other than English. This installer uses cfdisk for
formatting purposes so you can either use the existing partitions or
create modify the partitions before or during the installation
process.

I look forward to your feedback!
