Right, I suspect that was the intent of the original question. Many of the live linux CDs are already accessible. GRML, ubuntu, and vinux are examples. I would tend to favor vinux since it is intended especially for blind users. Their web site is at vinuxproject.org. Also, almost every distro supplies information on how to remaster their bootable CDs. GRML has a package specifically for that. I used to remaster the GRML boot CD to make it come up talking with my choice of hardware speech synth. That way, in an emergency, I didn't have to fuss with hotkeys. Plus I'd get speech earlier in the boot process. I haven't done it for a while because the existing bootable CDs are getting better and better. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darragh OHeiligh" <Darragh.OHeiligh@Oireachtas.ie> To: "Blind sysadmins list" <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Cc: <blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2011 8:38 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] orca with custom live cd's? I have never heard of a way of doing this. It would be fantastic if it was possible though. If it's just partitioning you need for an example you may be able to use gpartit on the Ubuntu live CD. In other words, depending on the problem your trying to tackle you may find that a distribution has an accessible too tha twill do the job from the live CD.

Sent by: blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org Hi guys, for those of you who use linux, I have a question regarding integration of audio as well as speech in to existing live cds. Assuming you know or heard of a program called parted magic, or perhaps any program that uses linux for getting a job done, be it an anti-virus or utility program, Is it possible to have audio support so as to integrate orca? If perhaps these things can't be done, forgive my ignorance, I've really not used linux ever!
