I have no experience booting from USB flash drives or booting Debian Live with or without accessibility, so I'm not sure how much help I can be, but a few questions that come to mind: Is the flash drive you're trying to boot from supposed to contain some flavor of Debian Live or some flavor of the Debian Installer? In either case, could you point us to the iso you used to flash the usb stick? Or the method used to flash the stick? Any of this information could be helpful in narrowing down possible issues with the stick itself. If the usb stick contains a copy of the Debian Installer, does a beep sound from your machine at any point after trying to boot? If so, that beep should indicate that you are at the installer's boot menu, and I believe pressing s and enter should initiate the talking version of the Installer. No idea if braille is enabled at the same time provided compatible hardware is detected for Braille. No idea if this beep plays on Debian Live, and no idea what to tell you if your machine lacks sound hardware as well, and personally, I'm not all that fond of how Debian handles starting the talking Installer since it means doing a blind install requires external documentation even when the install media boots properly. If you have sound hardware, but still don't hear the beep after many minutes, I'm not sure how to tell if the problem is with the stick itself, due to issues with your biso's boot settings, or hardware issues. -- Sincerely, Jeffery Wright Bachelor of Computer Science President Emeritus, Nu Nu Chapter, Phi Theta Kappa. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
