I am installing with a USB stick.
My user password is correct.
I'll send the logs in a separate email from '/var/log/installer'.
After a while the console with the user account becomes unstable and will not respond to keyboard input. I am not running the GUI at all. Other consoles work fine.
A big help would be to include nmcli or nmtui in the utilities installed with the Debian installer.
Who do I speak to about this?
Also it would be very beneficial if a question be asked during installation if the user wishes to log into command line or graphical mode.
During the last two installations I didn't have sound for the screen reader while installing from the ISO image. Fortunately I still had enough vision to see the screen with a magnifying glass and also run "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" as root and make the letters larger on the screen.
More later.

Use su to change the PWD ('passwd') of your regular user.

If you look in the Debian documentation for the installer you'wll see
that the installer logs are located in '/var/log/installer'.
This is also in the list archive.

To me the issue is that Samuel is always repeting himself by having to
ask the same things over and over again!
