Re: Debian Install Suggestions
Ubuntu includes all manner of non-free blobs by default in its
installation which is probably why you were able to do that install.
Would vga normal as boot parameters eliminate the need for the nonfree
blob in the debian case? I don't know, I've never been able to see a
screen to read such a message.

I tried the GUI install first, then the non GUI--I have enough vision left to see a system start up message referencing "Radeon 600" driver, wiki.debian.org/FirmWare, and the need to install a non-free blob. I could never get a command prompt even in a non-GUI install. I am forwarding this problem to a local university--the University of North Carolina in the City of Chapel Hill to see if someone there can help us. I was able to install Ubuntu 18.04, and used a screen reader to read this back.
