= Installing Fedora with Orca

|

Thanks for choosing to install Fedora. The first thing you'll need to
|
||||
do is put an installer onto a removable disk, like a DVD or Flash
|

Drive. For maximum accessibility, choose Fedora's Mate spin, found at

https://spins.fedoraproject.org/mate-compiz/download/index.html(The
|
||||
Fedora Mate download page). Follow a normal guide on flashing the
|

downloaded image to a flash drive or DVD, and prepare to restart the
|
||||
computer to begin the installation.

At this time, you are at the live installation screen, where you can

enable Orca, the screen reader. To do this, hold down the Alt key, the

Windows key (which in Linux is called the Super key), and press the S

key, releasing all keys afterwards. So, the key to press is *Alt +

Now that you know basic navigation, let's move on to installing the

== Installing Fedora
|
||||
|
||||
When you're done looking around, find the "install" icon on the desktop, and
|
||||
press Enter on it. The installer will open, but it won't have focus. To put
|
||||
focus on it, press Alt + Tab. Now, you can choose your language. When you've
|
||||
chosen your language, press Tab, and choose your keyboard layout. The item after
|
||||
that allows you to test your layout in a text field. Notice that Orca is
|
||||
speaking slowly, and also speaking every key you press. This can be changed
|
||||
later. Now, find the Next button and press Enter.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, you're in the main area of the installer. There are different areas you can
|
||||
go to, to prepare different parts of the installation. First is the destination,
|
||||
where Fedora will be installed. Then there are areas like time, user creation,
|
||||
and root account. Press Enter on them, one by one, and fill out the information
|
||||
in each. The part you may have trouble with is the time and timezone selection.
|
||||
The combo boxes in that area are hard to use, but you can fix your timezone
|
||||
later if you need to.
|
||||
|
||||
When you're ready, press the Begin Installation button. Fedora will begin to
|
||||
write the changes to the disk. When it's done, you can restart the computer. Be
|
||||
sure to remove the installation media, the DVD or Flash Drive, from the computer
|
||||
before restarting it or turning it back on. Now, you're ready to set up your new
|
||||
Fedora Linux system.
