problems with the lucid live cd

[Bill Cox]

The magic key sequence to bring up Orca in a Live CD boot of Lucid is
now: "Press space every 3-4 seconds, several times, then enter, then
F5, then 3, then enter twice".  That seems a bit extreme to me.
Couldn't we simplify that?  For example, "wait for the beep, then
press F5" would be a lot nicer.  The new Ubuntu Live CDs boot into a
Gnome screen to ask the language and give the user boot options
(install or try ubuntu).  It seems to me that would be a good place to
play a boot sound and to enable function keys as accessibility
shortcuts.  For example, pressing F5 could directly start Orca.

Just my $0.02.
