I wrote a wiki entry on using the accessibility features of grml on the wiki of the International Association of Visually Impaired Technologists. The page is here: http://wiki.iavit.org/index.php/Accessing_grml Grml has some access issues. It's not perfect. However, if I were to build my own rescue disk, I'd start with grml. They encourage people to build their own disks and include a tool for doing that. I think the tool is called grml-live or something like that. You can google that. But in my job as the manager of the high performance clusters at the University of Wisconsin Math department, I always just use generic grml. I have not found it necessary to modify it.

It is a cool distro because it contains many recovery tools. I was too lazy to update it so i have actually very old release (may be 3 years old) which does not work on new hardware. If you really want to make talking distro, then what about distro like rip or something similar? I am thinking about working on it, because i am actually admin again as i was few years ago, and talking distro like rip is very usefull if you have to recover data from crashed windows computers, change forgotten passwords in windows and so. > I can provide my old release, but as i said, it is really old. > With best > Peter > > > Dňa 5. 2. 2013 20:02 Rob Hudson wrote / napísal(a): >> If you get this working, I'd love to have it. >> >> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Raikes" >> >> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." >> >> Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2013 12:55 PM >> Subject: creating a speakup cli cd >> >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> >>> >>> I am starting work on a project to make a Speakup-enabled livecd that >>> will boot to the console. >>> >>> >>> >>> The cd will be based on ubuntu precise and will include Speakup, >>> espeakup and brltty for accessibility. >>> >>> Are there special parameters I need to pass to the kernel at boot to >>> activate Speakup at start? >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Speakup mailing list >>> Speakup@linux-speakup.org >>> http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Speakup mailing list >> Speakup@linux-speakup.org >> http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup >> > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup@linux-speakup.org > http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup@linux-speakup.org > http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup >
