Yes, of course. If you create the DVD yourself, you get to decide what software is included and how that software is configured. There are tools for making this easier, and they typically let you select which packages to include and to add files (e.g., configuration files containing your desired changes). You'll probably have to experiment with this several times to get it right, but you can use a virtual machine for this purpose, so you don't have to burn actual DVDs and reboot whenever you want to make a change. I haven't actually done this, so I don't know which tools are currently best. Basically, there will be scripts that download everything and build an image file that can be written to the DVD. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-accessibility-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: wheezy live cd
Hi, I asked about the accessibility in the image CD and DVD created by Debian Live project some days ago, but it appears that the bootloader does not support the accessibility options, or these options are not implemented in the image... accessibility from bootloader does not works in Wheezy RC1 generated by Debian Live. However, you can enable accessibility once the Gnome session has been started by pressing alt+f2 keys, then type Orca, and press enter. Then you should set the Orca preferences. If you are interested in a Live CD with accessibility by default, you can create one using Live Build. This tool allows create Official and unofficial live CD, DVd or installer debian System, adding or removing packages or settings to the final image. You can search in the web about this. I am creating one of these images, with Speakup, Orca and BrlTTY by default, but I have two questions that I will ask in a Spanish Debian List. If you wish and if I can create succesful the image, I could sent it to you. Take care, Manuel.

It seems like, from my experimentation that the only way to get wheezy to be accessible is to install it onto a harddrive using the accessible installer. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-accessibility-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
