Hello,

I have downloaded the 32-bit iso file for Fedora Linux and would like to try it in VMware Player. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to enable Orca during the installation process. Pressing Windows+Alt+s does nothing at all. Is the Fedora install process accessible using Orca? If so, how do I enable the screen reader?

Did you try pressing alt-f2 typing in orca and pressing enter?

That doesn't work either. When I use OCR on the virtual machine window, it tells me I'm booted into the live environment and I have the option to try the system or install it. Why doesn't Orca work out of the box? I thought this distro was supposed to be blind accessible.

Did you try Fedora's Mate spin though?
