Hi, The name of the iso I was using is
firmware-8.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso
and it is in the archive for the debian-installer. I ran the
installation using this image as my network cards both wired and
wireless require firmware and I also ran the installation on low
priority and choose to install everything like non-free as well as
backports. For the main tasks for this text based installation I
selected just the standard system as I want this system to be
small. Everything installed just fine and I was connected to the
installation over the network as I wanted to test out the network
console using my windows 10 system and was able to follow all
prompts but then once the Debian system rebooted no internet
settings were on the system in the /etc/network/interfaces or any
other wifi packages that were installed such as wpa_supplicant. My
question is why does the installer not copy over the wireless
networking settings from the installer to the target system when
doing a text only install with speech? Nick Gawronski

Could you give us the full name of the Jessie ISO?
as I am totally blind and found that the latest
installer once it was installed I had no software speech after
installing the system.
It depends on how you install your system. If you install you
system in braille or in "normal" way it's the normal effect.
I was installing Debian Jessie on my laptop with
just a text based system mainly for a rescue system for when X
windows is down and for times when I don't wish to use X
windows. I found that during the installation I was able to
connect to the internet and successfully install the system but
once the system was rebooted I had no internet access over any
network method.
As I know, It seems there is no link with accessibility in this
case.
What would it take for the debian installation to
copy the network settings from the installer to the target
system as it makes no sence why networking would be setup and
working during a text based installation but not in the target
system? What file should I edit to add my wireless network as
well as my wired network using DHCP so they both will work when
my text based system boots? Nick Gawronski
The tips I use is to install a new driver for your Debian system.
For doing something like that you need to follow some steps :
1) Find the model of your card and the related firmware package in
Debian, if it's a Intel Wireless card it's the package firmware-iwlwifi
2) Add the backports repo in your environment as explained in this
page : http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
3) Install the new package with a command like that : "apt-get
install -t jessie-backports FIRMWARE_NAME"
