Much as I applaud any improvement that would make OpenBSD
more accessible to the blind, I fail to see how having
a "Live CD" would contribute to that.

This is very easily done with OpenBSD: install to an USB stick
(which doesn't differ from any other installation); that's your
live cd right there; then copy the install sets onto that USB stick,
and boot bsd.rd if you want to install from that. See

Looking at speakup-3.1.6, it seems to be quite linux-specific,
and I don't see a port for it. Do you have a patched version
that you installed on your OpenBSD 5.0?

Oh please. Stop spreading this crap.
Read the FAQ link above instead.

Eric, ignore this misguided 'project' and follow
the standard install procedures.
