Have you heard of grml? Grml (pronounced gremel) is a lot like system rescue CD but it supports software speech and has some other accessibility features. You do need to load the speakup_soft module and run espeakup after the system boots. But it helps you to know when to type the commands by beeping. It also has built in braille support.
