I am all in favor of this. We should strive to provide easy access to |
| 6 |
our distribution, and that includes opening up new access methods. |

I remember one time a few years ago that there was a blind user on |
| 9 |
#gentoo in IRC who needed a lot of help installing Gentoo; he had to |
| 10 |
find friends who had the time to read what was on the screen (which they |
| 11 |
couldn't necessarily understand, as our installation and procedures |
| 12 |
*are* pretty geeky and technical.) How much easier would it have been if |
| 13 |
he had been able to take charge and do it himself? He probably would |
| 14 |
have stuck with Gentoo. IIRC, he was discouraged and had to look |
| 15 |
elsewhere despite his desire to use our stuff. |

So I'm all in favor of adding the speech software. |

Question: what kind of end-user configuration is required once the CD is |
| 20 |
booted to make use of it? |
