Re: Add a package to a liveCD?

[MENGUAL Jean-Philippe <mengualjeanphi@free.fr>]

Hi,

Yes, my question is to change the standard official liveCDs (or at least 
MATE and gnome variants).

On the debian-installer, a blind user presses s to enable the speech 
synthetiser for the installer. His USB braille display is detected 
automatically through brltty, or the user can run brltty manually for 
serial port braille display. Finally, when braille or speech synth is 
enabled, a script runs at the end of the install process to set the 
login manager accessible, enable speakup module to make the CLI 
accessible, and enable accessibility on desktop through gsettings commands.

What I mean is:
1. The infrastructure already exists on Debian CDs so I don't think it's 
so much hard to export it to liveCD, and it shouldn't break anything in 
the 8.2.0 liveCD;
2. The liveCD just should include a script so that, when user presses s 
or whatever, it set by default the a11y on the desktops, runs Orca, 
brltty, etc.

I Cc. the a11y list, so that people like Samuel Thibault can tell you 
how it's difficult to add accessibility on the liveCD, given !hat he 
wrote the accessible installer and so on.

Regards,

If the user wants to press something like ctrl+super+s to activate accessibility features then why not they won't affect those who don't want those features so don't press the key combination.
