I am all in favor of this. We should strive to provide easy access to
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
#gentoo in IRC who needed a lot of help installing Gentoo; he had to
find friends who had the time to read what was on the screen (which they
couldn't necessarily understand, as our installation and procedures
*are* pretty geeky and technical.) How much easier would it have been if
he had been able to take charge and do it himself? He probably would
have stuck with Gentoo. IIRC, he was discouraged and had to look
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
booted to make use of it?
