Jereon,
Thanks so much for the quick reply. I figured that livecd-tools would suite my purposes, but in an effort to expand my knowledge, I was testing revisor last night. I did try the --cli mode, and the process ran most of the way through but in the end it ran into some errors. I don't have the error list on this computer so I can't forward the errors, but it was something about packages already installed.
As for the accessibility, I would be happy to test anything you get working and to help in any way i can.

Hi all,
I have been readig a lot of posts on this list lately, and wonder if someone can give me some clarification on the difference between revisor and livecd-creator.
As a blind user, unfortunately, I cannot run revisor in gui mode since it is not accessible using orca on the gnome desktop, so I am not sure what benefits I would gain from using revisor.
First of all, as the developer of revisor, I'm very sorry to not have paid any attention to accessibility. I'll need to look into orca and make sure the GUI is actually accessible. I'm very sorry, as this has been neglect on my part entirely.
Revisor though also has a command line interface, which for the time being you may be able to use. Open up a terminal and use revisor --cli to tempt it to not start the GUI at all.
I have created a couple of livecd's using livecd-creator, and while the process is a bit time-consuming, it seems to be pretty successful.
Revisor uses livecd-creator and heavily depends on it. They're similar in many ways, yet different in so many other. Sometimes, under special circumstances mostly having to do with special use-cases, Revisor does something a little different from livecd-tools.
Final advice; to just create a livecd, use livecd-tools. If you have challenges beyond the scope of livecd-tools, use Revisor.
Kind regards,
