grml would have been my choice if speakup with software speech wasn't just flat broken. I could hear little snatches of what it might have been like and it is very good when not being clobbered by the spelling bug. Just the grml disk alone seemed to me like a pretty good rescue disk because it contains a whole Debian distribution. I sure hope the software speech gets fixed one day because that is a perfect solution for most of the real technical problems we experience when installing Linux. The telnet installation that several mentioned is a great thing, also, but you always need another computer that is working to pull that off and software speech requires no extra hardware so the computer becomes its own synthesizer.
