I would like to bootstrap Silverblue, but I’m unsure of the correct way to do so, and all the scripts I’ve found are for outdated versions. I have custom partitions that I’d also like to keep, but they’re not far off the normal setup. The only difference is that the root and home partitions are XFS. This is the only way I can try Silverblue, because Orca isn’t included in the iso. Super alt S doesn’t work, alt f2 won’t bring up the run dialog so I can’t try turning it on that way, so bootstrapping via the command line is the most accessible way I can do it from the mate compiz or workstation isos that come with orca on them. If there’s an easier way to do this, like if making my own silverblue iso that includes and autostarts Orca along with the installer is easier, some direction would be appreciated on that too.

What you should be able to do is to boot a Workstation or KDE LiveISO, which has the Anaconda installer and then use a custom kickstart file to install Silverblue instead of the default system included with the ISO.
Unfortunately, I’ve never done it so not sure exactly what the steps are.

Arent there more problems?
Like on Debian GNOME, only one I tried, Terminal doesnt open with Ctrl+Alt+T
otherwise shouldnt it just be possible to add all the screenreader packages to the images, or layer them in such cases? its not convenient, and needs to work straight on the install of course
