Yeah, that is what I was using, it is CD size, not DVD size.
It was around 400 MB in size.
I was thinking it would be much smaller.
Maybe I need the first of the DVD installs.
But when I did that before, like a year or so ago, it did not set up my sources.list file, and I had to find the repositories and put them in myself.

I suggest you try the netinst with additional firmware. If you google, you'll find it.

I finally got it talking, but the strange issue I'm having is that I get through the language, location and keyboard, and then it does not find the installation media.
I was never prompted for the WIFI, and I know it works, because I boot to an SD card on this computer, and I had Debian on that card.
I'm trying to get an install without a desktop.
So I wonder if I need to go with the full DVD installer, if it is available.

Unless I am sadly mistaken, the only Debian distro with speech is the full installer, Disk #1. I didn't know that 11.7 was out in distributed form, only upgradable from 11.6, which I just did the other day successfully.

        Howdy 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.
