Re: Request for CLI espeak Install to have needed CLI programs for blind.
The reason I did the work on writing the article I wrote on wifi
configuration for command line installs is not because command line does
not configure wifi if that's all it can find. It's because the
installer temporarily configures wifi long enough to install packages
then wipes out necessary information from /etc/network/interfaces upon
first boot. This only happens to wifi users not ethernet users. This
was a long-running thread on the debian-user mailing list too. If you
run a command line install and debian cannot find or configure your wifi
you probably were using the stock debian install iso and may have better
luck with the firmware debian iso. That firmware iso is unofficial and
has some more wifi drivers on it which will for compatible systems bring
up wifi temporarily during install.
