I've just tried it (rc3 of 2005/03/05), and it almost works (it doesn't seem that the partition manager correctly asks the kernel to reload the partition table: I had to run fdisk /dev/ide/... then w, and I had troubles with exim). Aldo, you can find it on usual cd mirrors in /debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-i386/current/images/floppy/access/ You'll need all of boot.img, root.img and net-drivers.img for a network install. Replace net-drivers.img by cd-drivers.img for a cd install (I don't think it is actually needed for ide drives though). Maybe these images should get quite more advertised: I had some difficulties to find them through the debian.org website and resorted to googling. People should note that not owning a braille device indeed prevents them from checking that screen reading works, but it does _not_ prevent them from checking that the installation process works, so people should try access floppies too (like I just did).
