[NFBCS] linux talking installer

[Maurice A. Mines]

Good morning, I downloaded the accessible coconut distribution and was 
unable to get it installed into a parallels virtual machine. So what I'm 
thinking I'm going to do is install Ubuntu, then add orca. And see how 
well this works. If anyone has any advice regarding watch distribution 
works in a parallels virtual machine running on a 2020 Intel MacBook Pro 
I'd be certainly happy to read your thoughts. I probably won't get a 
chance to do this until after the end of next week however yes final 
exams first. Then do something different for a while after. Any thoughts?


Just be aware I'm dictating this to the computer in Windows using 
dictation software. So if there's something written above that you 
absolutely don't understand, please reach out to me and asked me what my 
original intent may have been? I look forward to clearing up in the 
misunderstandings that might arise as a result of what I've written 
above. Thank you very much for reading this.
