Re: Fresh install gives no graphical login

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@panix.com>]

One of the bells and whistles kde hasn't got is anything approaching a 
screen reader that works as well as orca does in gnome/mate.  So for the 
new users out there who have never seen anything in this life kde is a 
no go unless I'm quite wrong about this and in that case I really would 
like to know how to get screen reading up and running on kde and where 
the documentation for it is on the internet.  By screen reading, I do 
not mean the ability to read files exclusively screen reading has speech 
or other accessible output happening all during the interactive session 
in which commands get entered and results from commands get spoken too. 
If anyone with vision could figure out how to get this working and 
document it somewhere on the internet this would close a huge 
accessibility hole for kde.  Best of all would be a kde-accessible 
debian install iso preferably of the firmware variety since that would 
have best chances for actually getting to the internet and completing an 
installation.  With such an iso, kde would get more use in the community 
needing screen readers and accessibility bugs remaining could then get 
reported specific to kde and perhaps squashed in time.
