There is still a lot of effort needed to get a working CLI system with
basic console programs.
It would greatly help those who need or want keyboard centered system.
I forgive you for telling me what I meant, and then being wrong about it.
The person has been using CLI systems for 20 years.
Best regards,

Hello,
Is there someone to ask to see if we can obtain a basic CLI system with

Using the Debian installer, there still is a lot of effort to be done to
come up with a useful system.
One shortcoming is an easy way to configure WiFi networks. Ceni is
excellent but it's not in Debian repos, but in AntiX based on Debian or
with smxi script.
With smxi you can install browsers and editors easily.
One bug that's a real pain is that somehow ldconfig doesn't get installed
with the current CLI install.
Arch Linux has a CLI install that's ready to go but it's not Debian which
has it's advantages of it's own especially with stability.
A CLI accessible installation CD would be a real asset. An easy console
wifi setup would also help. Ceni works but it's difficult to understand
with screen reader because it uses curses graphics.
I'm assuming that by the CLI you mean 'console mode'.
Debian is fully accessible using the CLI during and after installation.
The option "install with speatch" is to be selected at install time,
when installed exporting the en 'DEBIAN_FRONTEND=readline' will help
using the CLI.
>From what you are describing, it souns like the user needs to learn the
CLI rather then the CLI not being accessible with 'espeakup'.
