Hey mike and all, I tried downloading a fresh copy of edgy, which I installed by myself, edgy on my laptop, I just can't seem to get orca to start up when I type sudo su, followed by orca --no-setup. I get no response. In fact last night when I did try that, I typed orca at the root prompt and came back an hour later and the cd was still humming! My pc is an emachine with 256 mb of ram and a celeron 2.8 processor. I don't know why it acts like this but I really want to get this installed, get rid of windows and dance on the ashes <laughs histerically>
