creating a speakup cli cd

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I use grml for this. See www.grml.org.  I wrote a wiki entry  on using 
the accessibility features of grml on the wiki of the International 
Association of Visually Impaired Technologists. The page is here:
http://wiki.iavit.org/index.php/Accessing_grml

Grml has some access issues. It's not perfect. However, if I were to 
build my own rescue disk, I'd start with grml. They encourage people to 
build their own disks and include a tool for doing that.  I think the 
tool is called grml-live or something like that. You can google that. 
But in my job as the manager of the high performance clusters at the 
University of Wisconsin Math department, I always just use generic grml. 
I have not found it necessary to modify it.

I was too lazy to update it so i have actually very old release (may be 3 years old) which does not work on new hardware. If you really want to make talking distro, then what about distro like rip or something similar? I am thinking about working on it, because i am actually admin again as i was few years ago, and talking distro like rip is very usefull if you have to recover data from crashed windows computers, change forgotten passwords in windows and so.
