speakup with ubuntu

[Jude DaShiell]

Some of what's already put on the boot: line by default likely will fight 
with speakup; unless text as a boot: parameter is supported.  Why not poll 
the keyboard for just the alt key being held down?  If that happens, 
perhaps have ubuntu bing up speakup if it can with software speech at 
first.  Maybe also not start up X at all automatically, and tell the user 
about a ubuntu accessibility directory on the livecd.  If less or zless 
can be used, would-be users might find out how to customize ubuntu livecd 
before doing install say with a good ks.cfg file placed on a floppy.  So 
long as boot parameters can be read from a ks.cfg file and those get 
described well enough this might be a possibility.  If ubuntu can read a 
floppy with vfat format and read a ks.cfg file from it we're almost good 
to go.
