Dear members of this conference, I would like to inform You about The possibility for creating Windows XP live CD. I have been also tried The WIN PE based on WIndows Vista core, i have tested excellent tool for sighted users named JUDE USB wizard. Unfortunately, sound support is not included in WIndows PE based on WIndows Vista, and i think, that sound support will not be awailable also while using WIndows PE based on Windows 7 kernel. But there is other choice. Using Windows XP and Bardspe and, and this is very important, try to use The following project. It is awailable on The following address. http://www.llanelly.com/downloads.html If You will download The following .zip archive http://www.llanelly.com/downloads/file/11-xpebuilder.html And if You will finish The installation, You will find The file msaudio.inf in The following folder: \XPEBuilder\Plugin\300_drivers\oem-ms-drivers The task is, where to add .inf and .sys drivers, on which folder? And if it is simply possible to add new device driver to The msaudio.inf file. NVDA latest development and all released version are fully compatible with Windows PE environment, there is also braille device directly supported by NVDA without need to installing it's driver. So if somebody would have The time, I AM suggesting to integrate some sound driver to The .inf file from The XPE Builder v0.1.0.146 project. There are many various preconfigured and preinstalled plugins, i AM only wondering, if visually impaired users will be able to use included alternative shell. Powermenu is perfectly accessible, it's whole start menu, so this would be a perfect shell alternative, which would be used in The resulted XP live media. There is also ammazing solution, visually impaired system administrator could buy The USB sound cart, which can be detected by WIndows XP and this driver could be incorporated to The resulted WIndows XP live CD. Because integrating many sound drivers would consume many space and i AM afraid, that algorithms for searching The sound hardware and triing to include so many drivers would break The load process of The live environment. Brltty will not be easy to integrate, because services feature is not simply to setup in live mode. -- Mgr. Janusz Chmiel
