Hi Sean, The Edgy installer uses Orca, the Gnome screen reader, along with the Festival synth to voice the install. This feature is available on the daily build of the live CD, which can be gotten from cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ Boot the CD and when you hear the Ubuntu startup sound, press alt-f2 to bring up the run dialog box in gnome. Type orca and press enter. At this point, you'll get a message indicating that the accessibility flag has been initialized and you need to log in again for this change to take effect. Press control-alt-backspace to kill the X session and wait for the CD to log you in automatically again. Once you hear the startup sound, run orca again by pressing alt-f2, typing orca, and pressing enter. At this point, you should be able to launch the Ubiquity installer from the desktop. Please note that the above info may be slightly out of date since things are changing frequently with the daily build.
