I just got a Clonezilla disc about two weeks ago. I read in the documentation that access=v3 is supposed to turn on a screenreader of some kind for blind users. However, it didn't do, it threw errors a dozen and stopped. I further read that I had to do some sort of extra typing to get this to work, none of which I understand. It is a live-boot parameter. Can anyone fluent with Clonezilla lend a hand?

A clonezilla cd may change from version to version.

First off, do you need to enable any special features for access?

In general clonezilla boots to some prompt. As I recall, I just pressed enter for the few questions until I got to the real program. Then it was pretty simple to follow. Source and destination. The way you want to save via disk or partition is also asked I think.

A few of the posts I've read seem to suggest that option doesn't work.

Per their doc's.

" access=ACCESS
Set the accessibility level for physically or visually impaired
users. ACCESS must be one of v1, v2, v3, m1, or m2. v1=lesser vis‐
ual impairment, v2=moderate visual impairment, v3=blindness,
m1=minor motor difficulties, m2=moderate motor difficulties."

So, the boot parameter access=v3 should work.

If I notice this post tomorrow I'll download a copy and test it.
