I suppose the live image is probably the easiest way. Are all the 
required components included? Also, an accessible method of enabling 
them would be required. Then, is Anaconda/liveinst accessible if run in 
a suitably configured desktop session?

Making {pxe,iso,sys}linux accessible and adding an option there would be 
one way, but that seems hard or not very good. (Press 'a' when it goes 
"bleep blaap" or something like that.)

Perhaps the two LiveUSB tools we have could benefit from options that 
will enable the a11y bits for the live desktop session? (Probably by 
adding yet another kernel command line option.) That way one could even 
use an accessible Windows desktop to create an a11y-enabled Fedora 
LiveUSB. (Is liveusb-creator and Gtk2 on Windows accessible?) Care would 
perhaps need to be taken to make sure that a11y is also enabled by 
default in the Fedora installation that liveinst produces, though that's 
not as important because GDM does have an accessible way to enable a11y.

/abo (who could cross-post this all over the place considering how much 
it covers, but won't)
