I think there needs to be a sound omitted when boot
keys can be pressed. Ya sure you can listen for CDRom and hard drive noises, but
this is very unreliable and completely irrelevant when trying to boot a virtual
machine. I'd suggest some sort of tripple beep from the PC speaker -
something which won't be confused with other boot-time beeps - doesn't have to
be pretty, just distinctive!!!

That would be nice or some how set up a talking
boot menu like oralux had.

Hi there,
In Ubuntu, during the boot stage the user is shown the
following options after pressing F5 (See Accessible Install of Ubuntu
Feisty ):
- None (has focus)
- High Contrast
- Magnifier
- Screen Reader
- Keyboard Modifiers
- On Screen Keyboard
I this that the 'Screen Reader' option
should be the first option, so that in order to save a blind user from
counting the number of times that he/she have to press the 'Down'
button.
Actually, it would be better if the 'Screen Reader' had its
own function key assigned to, say F10, so that blind users can start Orca
with one press of a button, rather than having to press 'F5, Down, Down,
Down, Enter', which seems a bit demanding, considering the fact that typing
the wrong key sequence results in an un-usable boot from the view point of a
blind person.
I guess it would be hard to persuade Ubuntu team to
allocate a function key for Orca in the main boot menu, but it worth a
shot.
Promoting the 'Screen Reader' option be the first option in the
'F5' menu is also an adequate solution, as the user would only press 'F5,
Enter'.
What do you think?
Tomer
