I agree with you.

The fedora installer is somewhat accessible; you can do the main bit of the 
install. THe only thing is the first boot app which runs to guide you 
through setting up a new user account etc. If we could find the script, and 
disable it on the hard disk using the live cd before rebooting, and then 
reboot into a working system and set all the options in the terminal, Or if 
there was a way to start the necessary orca and gnome stuff to make orca run 
during firstboot using a script, then the fedora install would be accessible
