Re: live system during install and debian mate



That is a terminalinstaller and so far as I know that's the only installer since gnome is not fully installed on a system until after all downloads are done what gnome you get on live dvd is too unstable to do an accessible install. Orca has too few developers and has to be constantly servicing firefox thunderbird and libreoffice accessibilitty flaws and that has been the case for its entire life cycle there is little to no time to fix anything else. Doing things in terminal for you will be eating your vegetables. The terminal takes you under the hood where all the real controls live and you did not even get into bash programming yet. For later reference if you write a bash script that does something useful maybe using the dialog package for eye candy you can then use the xenity package to make something you can run with gnome without going anywhere that acursed awful horrible no good terrible terminal.

Hi,
sorry, but i am puzzled.
according to this,
"The gnome liveCD has screen reader support. At the boot menu, one has
to type enter (TODO: add beep). Then the desktop launches up (TODO:
add beep), and one can press super-alt-s to start Orca."
from the debian accessibility, but when i did the same, nothing
happens, i heard the first beep, and i hit enter, and waited for
several times, but no beep, but i press alt+super+s, and nothing.
maybe it is stucked when loading live desktop? but if at the first
beep, i press s and enter, it will load the terminal, pseak up came. i
dont want terminal install, i am a nubi. i want the graphical
installer, similar to ubuntu or vinux. the installer i used, 650 mb,
was,
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/i386/iso-cd/debian-8.7.1-i386-CD-1.iso
but just now i did find the live installer, 999 mb, in size. Is that
the one i should use?
it has a lot of desktops, i chose mate desktop, so is it the one? any
steps required in order to use debian with mate instead of gnome?
