Hello list,
I have just uploaded the following to the server:
http://www.raspberryvi.org/downloads/accessible-arch-cli-2.1-beta.img.zip
There are also release notes and sha1sum file for this image:
http://www.raspberryvi.org/downloads/accessible-arch-cli-2.1-beta.releasenotes
http://www.raspberryvi.org/downloads/accessible-arch-cli-2.1-beta.sha1sum
The root password is root.
There is one ordinary user; 'pi', password 'raspberry'.
Hostname is 'alarmpi'.
Notes:
1. The release notes are available in /home/pi as 'README'.
2. There are root file system expansion scripts in /home/pi, see
release notes.
3. This image uses speech-dispatcher and the audio is SOLID. But,
because Emacspeak does not use speech-dispatcher, Emacspeak should
currently be regarded as broken. It is unusable. I am currently
writing an Emacspeak to speech-dispatcher bridge.
4. This is a beta version. I firmly believe this is the best attempt
at accessibility since the problems with changed audio drivers and Hynix
chips etc. However, please regard it as a beta and report any problems
on here so we can have a go at fixing them.
I believe the switch to speech-dispatcher is very significant in a
couple of ways, not least because we will need for sd to be running if
we are to get Orca to fly in a GUI.
A big thank you has to go to Rill for constant encouragement, comments
(not all rude), constructive criticism and an occasional kick when I get
fed up or despondent about trying to shoe-horn accessibility into a
match box.
Several SD cards were definitely harmed in the production of this image :)
