Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
To get the live CD to boot to a desktop with the orca screen reader running you press space shortly after boot (with no audio prompt or feedback, you have to guess how long to wait before pressing space)
then enter (for English), F5 (for accessibility menu), down, down, down (to choose screen reader), enter, enter
It would be great to have a beep or some audio clue that it might be time to hit space, then some kind of feedback on selecting options, or a shortened key sequence to get to the screen reader boot. Perhaps at the point where you are supposed to hit space to get to the menu of options there could be another keystroke (enter perhaps) which just boots to an desktop with Orca so it becomes a single keystroke rather than enter F5 down down down enter enter

A problem that has been known about for some time, but something that hasn't been looked at yet. Thanks to the window that now pops up asking the user whether they want to try Ubuntu, or install it, we now have an opportunity to offer some options for accessibility, probably in the form of keyboard shortcuts or mouse gestures, depending on the disability in question.
I will propose this as a specification for uds O, and flesh it out there.
