As a matter of fact, I am working on one right now, based on the Ubuntu 
Linux distribution's live CD framework. It is quite usable, however is 
only in testing at the moment, as not everything is spoken properly from 
bootup to give you feedback to what is happening.

The final release will very likely not be out until April, when the 
official Ubuntu release is out.

If you want to test it, you have to either have assistance to select 
your language and keyboard at startup, or have some sight to do so. This 
is not spoken yet, as mentioned above. However, gnopernicus does come 
up talking as soon as the GNOME desktop loads.

If anybody is really interested in testing this early version, please 
get in contact with me so I can help you get a copy.
