Last news from the Live CD developers is that the F5 access option has a 
small bug (located and will be fixed in the next few days). The feature 
has been improved slightly from last time in that you can now press a 
number to activate a selection instead of the arrows, so F5 - 3 - Enter 
should start the screen reader.

We are still 3-4 weeks away from the final release so there will be the 
odd bug, but please do report them, either on the ubuntu-access list or 
in launchpad.

We ship Firefox 2 which has some access support but not perfect. 
Hopefully we can start providing Firefox 3 packages at an early stage.
