Introduction

Assistive Technology

The introduction of gfxboot has made possible a radical improvement in accessibility support on the live CD. Starting in Flight 5, it will now be possible to select one of several accessibility options from the very first boot screen. Having enabled assistive technology from start of the live CD process it is now possible for disabled users to complete the installation independently, using Ubuntu Express and the assistive technology systems available in Gnome.
