Anything similar to this CD that talks for blind users?

[Jim Kutsch]

I second the recommendation of GRML.  Although I run FC4 on multiple 
systems, the totally CD based GRML system is a great tool for use on 
non-Linux systems.  It offers an easy way to run Linux with no installation 
effort.  The Grml tools can even be useful for doing maintenance on a 
Windows system.  Even without speech, it can be booted for ssh access from 
another system.  Just wait for the CD to go quiet and type ssh=x.  That 
activates an ssh daemon with 'x' as the ssh password

The speakup enabled knoppix is qu9ite old -- I wold recomend grml
instead which has a somewhat newer version and has speakup already in
it!  Go to http://www.grml.org .
