As an adition to this, if you are away from the keys when it boots or
you hit enter instad of down and enter, you can enable speech by doing
the following, or here's how I do it
1. Let it time out, or hit enter, or however you get to the normal boot
2. espeak something
3. systemctl start espeakup
That achieves the same result if you get into a normal boot, and don't
want to reboot and go through the boot disk selection if it is giving
you trouble

That's how I installed archlinux. To get speakup going on archlinux when
you boot and hear the tones, downarrow once then hit enter then wait.
Speakup should come up. When it does and you're at the root prompt then
get highlight tracking on with speakup. Then run archinstall and you
should find it much more verbal and workable.
In additional packages to get espeak-ng installed and able to work when
that prompt comes up you need to add espeakup espeak-ng and alsa-utils.
Once you get all other questions answered you'll be offered the
opportunity to chroot into your new system and customize things. Do that
and in there systemctl enable espeakup and also enable dhcpcd systemctl
enable dhcpcd.
If none of that works then you got a bad copy of archlinux and need to
complain to your internet provider and have them fix your internet so that
doesn't happen again and by none of this I mean on boot downarrow then hit
enter at the tones if you don't get speech or the install breaks somewhere
else you may have made a bad choice but if packages install fails that's
definitely an internet provider screw up.

Hi,
Because I am an absolutelly UEFI idiot and I don't understand how to install
it with commands, I want to install Arch Linux to my Acer laptop, which no
more supports legaci using arch-install script. But the script is menu based
and the menu items are in single line. So has speakup the same mode, I think
it is called as light mode, or can I install Fenrir to live usb flash
installer? Or can I use some other tool to install EFI? I know how to install
mbr, but Efi isn't my friend. Secure boot is turned off, when it was turned
on, booting to Arch was impossible and also using vmware was inpossible.
Thanks,
Pavel
