It's already based on Ubuntu and includes Speakup, but it isn't specifically command line. It also includes Gnome and Orca. I didn't recommend it to you previously because it seemed to crash a lot in my tests, but that was quite a while ago. Even if you go ahead and build your own CD from scratch, Vinux has done a lot of the basic steps for you. To me, it doesn't make much sense to reinvent the wheel. I personally would rather see efforts focused on the Debian live CD since the kernel already has Speakup included and it's just a matter of starting software speech at boot. I did some initial experiments in this regard and it looked like it wouldn't take more than a few hours, but I admit that I don't know anything about how the boot loader works. There are already packages to create a plain vanilla Debian live CD on your own system, so it should just be a matter of adding the espeakup, espeak and speakup-tools packages and making sure the startup scripts work. I might give this another go in a couple of weeks if no one beats me to it.
