So start the installer with Accessibility mode on by default then.
See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/doc/StartGuide for details.
"The standard Ubuntu Live CD can accommodate users with a range of
disabilities using different boot options. This section explains how to
activate these features on the Live CD.
Insert the Live CD and boot the machine to use Ubuntu Live. The CD will
start with a boot screen giving various options for starting the system
including choice of language, special hardware settings and
accessibility settings. Pressing F5 produces a menu of accessibility
options with the following choices:
* None
* Lesser Visual Impairment
* Moderate Visual Impairment
* Blindness
* Minor Motor Difficulties "
Does Fedora (or any other distro you happen to mention) have this
feature?
Ubuntu take accessibility _very_ seriously. To suggest they don't merely
smacks of a lack of knowledge of the product.
I met the main accessibility guy (Henrik Omma) last week and he really
is doing some great things in this area. He has been involved in
numerous projects to ensure that Ubuntu (and Linux in general) is
accessible to people with different accessibility requirements.
Of course there is nothing stopping other distros taking the code
created by/for that team and integrating it in other distros.
People seem to forget quickly that there are a bunch of things that
start their life in Ubuntu and migrate (due to the license) to other
distros. This is of course great for Ubuntu (being the first to market
with such tools) but benefits _everyone_ in the end.
Cheers,
Al.
