The magic key sequence to bring up Orca in a Live CD boot of Lucid is now: "Press space every 3-4 seconds, several times, then enter, then F5, then 3, then enter twice". That seems a bit extreme to me. Couldn't we simplify that? For example, "wait for the beep, then press F5" would be a lot nicer. The new Ubuntu Live CDs boot into a Gnome screen to ask the language and give the user boot options (install or try ubuntu). It seems to me that would be a good place to play a boot sound and to enable function keys as accessibility shortcuts. For example, pressing F5 could directly start Orca.
Just my $0.02.
