With the help of some Sighted people at Hudlug, Edgy is now installed on my laptop. It was done through the Alternative CD and accessibility options had to be set after the installation. There must be some kind of problem with the desktop CD which affects certain laptops and even desktops, something which makes it consume too much memory when running Ubuntu Edgy as Live which prevents Orca from running or just slows down Edgy altogether because even running the Desktop CD as Live without the addition of Orca was a problem. Apparently someone posted something about a problem regarding Swap and something about if you have less than 128 K RAM it would cause problems which would affect the installation. In the words of a comic caracter "I don't believe it." I say this because of the number of CDs I thought I made into coasters while trying to install it so maybe my disks I burned were not bad after all. Ubuntu boots up quick enough and it seems to responde to keystrokes quicker, the only problem I seem to be having at the moment is that I can't seem to read a document typed in Openoffice Writer, it wasn't reading what I was typing in and the Arrow keys were not responding. This maybe a problem either because of stuff I haven't set in the Orca preferences or it may be because I haven't had chance to update Edgy because it was about 10 PM yesterday when it finished installing from my Alternative CD and I could have been sat around for another hour or whatever just waiting to update the Laptop over the wireless network at Vox Bar wwhich is where I do my system upgrades until I get Ubuntu on my desktop at home which has a Broadband connection as I don't have a wireless Router at home for my Laptop and I don't have the laptop set up for my Btinternet account although I am hoping to have this done before the end of December when someone from my LUG is coming to help me dual boot my Desktop which at the moment only has Windows on it.
