I was wondering has anyone had experience with using this, and getting linux setup using it and obviously running a screen reader? I'd not heard of this project but having read the FAQ, it would be very difficult to get something working. There's no mention of serial devices which are likely to be virtual within the colinux environment. So this would not allow speakup's hardware synth support. As for the software synth and for speakup or orca, I'm not sure owing to the difficulties mentioned of having to use a sound server which we already do for software speech. Then there's the device names, not only would you need to learn the linux names of your hard disk, you'd also need to learn the colinux virtual naming system. It certainly doesn't sound like something a newbie should even begin to consider. I must admit, I'm interested in this area as I'm setting up a business catering for this type of situation. So I hope that someone who doesn't have a vested interest proffer an opinion. But how about using a external hard disk or USB pen? Can you investigate whether your laptop can boot from USB devices?
