Thanks a million for your help. I tried your suggestions to no avail. However, something strange happened, when I connected my braille display it connected to accessible coconut right away. I was able to browse the menus and connect to the internet. During my browsing the speech came on.
I have two questions, how can I get a command line prompt? My second question is, what is the command to turn off the computer? Alt f4 did not take me there.
Cheers,
Ibrahim

>> I downloaded the accessible coconut iso and put it on a bootable usb drive. I was able to boot the machine from the usb, but there was no speech to guide me. I was able to confirm that I indeed booted from usb with accessible coconut by using my iPhone camera. I have no idea how to get the speech going. So please if you have a tutorial, send it my way.
