Thanks John,
Yes, I finally went to use my Seeing AI to help me
figure out that I needed to use the escape key on bootup to get a boot
selection.
I thought I had this to boot to USB first, but
apparently not.
I know it's set to boot to SD first.
But that is what happens when we have non tech
types help us with the BIOS.
But now I'm not getting an option to connect to
WIFI, and it does not find the install media during the install.
So I may have to try something else.
The Vinux image has downloaded corrupt twice for me
now, and I've never downloaded a bad ISO before.

I don't know about 11.7 but I just did an 11.6 install a few weeks ago and
it worked fine. The correct key is simply an s, by the way. If you have an
iPhone, you can use Seeing AI to read the screen and it will allow you to
figure out when to press the key. I propped my phone up in front of the
computer monitor and just let it chatter away until I heard it speaking what I
knew to be the installation menu.

All,
I am not having luck with getting the Debian
installer to speak.
I am booting to:
debian-11.7.0-i386-netinst.iso
from:
and I have tried alt S, S alone, and down
arrowing 5 times and enter, and down arrowing 4 times and
enter.
These are things I read that are supposed to
put it into a talking installer.
Does this version not have a talking
installer?
I asked on the Debian accessibility list, but I
have gotten no responses, so I thought I'd ask here.
I'll use speakup on it in a CLI, if I can get
it working.
Thanks.
Glenn
