Does ubuntu-gnome have accessibility support for, installation?

[hadi remonion]

Hello james

it seemed that ubuntuGnome uses the same installer as ubuntu does, and 
since tim confirmed it last night, i went for a vm install.

I did the vm settings and powered on the machine, and i waited for the 
drum sound of ubuntu installation.
(it plays a drum sounds when the screen loads up)
i waited for 5 minutes, and it still didn't play the drum sound. so i 
decided to press control+s, and immediately i got speech feedback. and 
ScreenReader kicked in.
it was the screen which you can decide if you want to run ubuntu live or 
press the install button.
I installed the system, and after system reboot ScreenReader automaticly 
kicked in, and everything was setup already!

gnome-orca (which seems that was  renamed to screenreader BTW) is 
extremely speedy on gnome, (it comes with gnome)..
it is laggy on unity, and makes navigation hard in that desktop manager.
I expect more blind and visually impaired people coming toward 
ubuntuGnome, as it installs ubuntu plus latest gnome without any hassles 
or extra configurations, so i believe a wiki page that states that 
ubuntuGnome comes with speech installation helps.

p.s it would be awesome if a sound could be played when the installation 
screen comes up.

Cheers
Hadi
