Hi. Reader of http://planet-a11y.net/ may already know about this[1], but since this system is Debian based I thought it would make sense mentioning it here.
I recently built an accessible live system on a USB stick using the live-helper package. The original aim of this system was to put it on the internal USB storage of my Handy Tech Modular Evolution[2]. But I realized pretty quickly that this might be useful in general, especially for rescue situations and easy demoing of Linux accessibility capabilities to blind and visually impaired users. Since I am a german speaking person, I preconfigured this system for now to use a German desktop, german speech synthesis (using espeak) and german braille translation tables. All (to brltty) known USB braille devices are automatically recognized. The system fits on a 2GB USB stick. It uses the latest versions of accessibility software from experimental, the rest is lenny-based. You can find prebuilt images here: http://lamp.tugraz.at/~lang/isix/ Comments are welcome.
