What an interesting idea. As someone who's done work with blind and
deaf experiemental subjects, you've raised my interest.
The answer is "not easily". It's possible to use a remote serial
connection to navigate through the installation options, tied to a
text to speech synthesizer and appropriate keyboard or speecto to text
controller. That would require a separate system with the speech to
text tools, such as the Dragon company's software, and the ability to
reliably handle the text commands. Since the text installer involves a
lot of hitting the "tab" key to bounce from line to line, even in the
pure text mode, it wouldn't be simple.
I suggest that you'd be better off collaborating with a competent RHEL
or CentOS administrator to tune a kickstart file to your needs, and
use that to deploy a pre-structured operating system configuration.
