I second this. I've tried to do this in the past, but all the isos I've made then tried to boot have been nnonbootable.
I am working on a rescue CD based on Debian. That is to say it is 99% Debian packages with very minor adjustments for accessibility. It now even includes the Debian Installer, so you can install an official Debian system on your machine. It comes up talking on two real machines and in a VM, but it needs wider testing. I do have brltty enabled, but I don't have a Braille display. It has most standard tools you would expect, plus you can install others if you want. If you want a talking system out of the box, you can install the live system to your hard drive, but I don't recommend this. Unlike other CDs, it should come up talking automatically and includes non-free firmware, so your wireless network should be detected.
There is just one small problem. That is the bandwidth. I hesitate to give out a download location here because I don't want my server to get flooded with hits. Therefore, if you want it, please write off list. I will eventually find a better hosting solution, but mirrors are welcome. It's currently 64-bit only, but once it's stable, I plan to produce a 32-bit version and DVDs with a GUI. I am guessing I'll need about 12.5 GB total, but not for now.
If this interests you, please test. It needs testing on as much hardware as possible. I think I included most important packages, but if you think something is missing, please let me know. I plan to eventually set up a mailing list, but not until it gets more testing.
