Nick,
Please use the non free images because many blind people are connecting by Wi-Fi and the drivers are only on the non free images. Also add the Unofficial multimedia sources so blind people can use
the non free codecs.
It takes a lot of work to make Debian normal.
But Debian still is the best, I just wish they'd stop the non free prohibition and put printer and multimedia and Firefox in their ISO.
Best wishes,
David

Hi, I am totally blind and know about pressing s to start the installer
with speech as I do this then go back to the main menu and set debconf
priority to low so I have the most control during the installation
process. I looked into the simple-cdd package for building a debian
installation image but could not find out how to include the full mate
debian desktop with orca the screen reader setup for speech as well as
build-essential and other development packages. What would be the best
process for building such an image that starts automatically at low
priority with speech running and a highor volume level then normal for
systems where you would like speech to be not so soft during the
installation process? Nick Gawronski
