Yes we do that now. The settings that you activate with F5 should also 
be active when you restart after install for the user account that you 
created during install. Additional setting that you activate during the 
Live CD session are unfortunately not carried over.

This is very new and still had some bugs fixed just yesterday and has 
AFAIK not been properly tested -- but in theory it works.

Another snag is that our installer hack designed to let the installer 
run orca as root turned out not to be very stable and has been removed. 
So we have to write some release notes describing the best way to launch 
the installer with accessibility. (sudo su; orca; ubiquity).
