just use the netinstall iso files, they give you a minimal mate desktop with gimp and libreoffice but everything else you are free to use and customise in turms of what else you want, plus, orca comes as standard, if your pc requires non free firmware, go grab one of those images
Hi All,
How can I install Debian without "auto start of Orca" problem?
I installed Debian with "Speech support" option from the actual Debian
standard first DVD many years ago.
I installed the Mate desktop environment.
Orca did not start automatically but the console-based speaking software did.
How can I install the system to avoid these problems?
Can I install the system from "debian-live-11.3.0-amd64-mate.iso" or
better if I install it from "debian-11.5.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso" image?
Best regards: Egon
