[gentoo-accessibility] gentoo accessible installation

[Jude DaShiell]

On a flash drive in a gentoo installer iso does a file exist in which boot
parameters can be saved so on first boot of installer gentoo comes up
talking?  This would be for install-minimal.
Does the gentoo gui installer have orca as part of its software set?
If I do install gentoo, I'm thinking to try openrc with minimal
installation if this can be done with speakup enabled and pull down a
pre-built kernel since that kernel building step was fatal for me three
times when trying to install gentoo in the past.

Jus,

Just currius, but have you tried installed using a different bistro iso, i.e ubuntu-mate?  I heave done this and while the install for the most part worked getting speech was a problem for me.  The best part is that you can follow the install guide.  Thanks.

Matthew

The name is Jude andnobody needs to use ubuntu mate to install gentoo.
It's possible to follow the installation guide with normal gentoo disks
themselves.
The trick is to have the installation guide open in one tty and have the
other one where you run commands to install gentoo.  In the reading window
gentoo has links and maybe lynx available to use to bring up the
installation guide.  Then you switch back and forth between those two
windows keeping both open until finished.  It might be alt-right and
alt-left to switch between windows or ctty 2 and ctty1 keyed in on the
command line to do that.

Well I’ve never was Able to get speech working on a gentoo cd so just did it using another system is9o plus I like using a guy br9owser as I can copy what I want off I chose, but in any case I agree with you.  If there was an easier way to d

If there's a gentoo-boot mailing list maybe someone on that list knows
about the file that could be edited in my original post.
