You have to listen to the CD-drive very closely.
After a flew seconds it stops to spin the first time, this is the
right time to press F5 and to choice the option blindness. After that
you have to press enter to continue the boot process.
It is not easy if you are totally blind.

There seams a bug in gnopernicus or in gnome, too.
I tried the it on 3 different PCs but Gnopernicus did not speak after
the systems was up and runing.

You can try to exit Gnopernicus pressing Alt+F4 and to bring the run
dialog up (Alt+F2) and typing gnopernicus in. However it is likely that
you get an error saying Gnopernicus is running allready.
Somebody posted a flew weeks agou an work around for this error but I
did not understand it.
