linux-mint findings

I got some sighted assistance and here's what I found out so far.
1) after the speakers pop on my equipment I have to wait about 2 minutes 
then hit f1 then key in my user name and hit enter then key in my password 
and hit enter to log in.
You hear chimes at login.
If you try turning orca with alt-f2 orca, the welcome screen comes up and 
turns the screen reader off for you, so turn it back on again.
Logins for now are silent orca isn't enabled enough to talk you through 
them yet.
I'll do some exploration and see if I can get to control center or 
equivalent and adjust some settings.
Once the system is logged in it is pretty responsive and for the record 
I'm running version 18 of linux-mint code named Sarah.
I'm going to go and see what I can find on line about linux-mint 
accessibility and then try some things with this later.
