Ok, so now we at least know how we need to test it. So ideally try to
hear what pc say to you and use keyboard to specify what should be
achieved.

More questions:

- what you typically configure? user and password? timezone? or more
  advanced setup like different partitioning, playing with bootloader
  setup and modifying software selection? And if, then why? As I expect
  for first run goal should be to handle simple installation, but maybe
  we should install by default some assistance software for blind user
  if he do installation. In such case what software you think make
  sense to be installed by default?

- Is acceptable for you to have requirement to enable installation for
  blind users by some keyboard shortcut that will be documented? Or
  should we try to have different DVD for blind only ( but I expect it
  won't be so much tested ).

- do you expect there also some volume tunning? or do you simply use
  some headset that have built-in volume control?
