Re: New Install Fails at Step 14
That's quite all right, it's not something that's really important unless the non-full installs don't include screenreader support durinig the actual install, which they probably don't. You don't even have to ask your friend. If you happen to have a copy of the distro handy, boot it, and tell me if there's an option to start the installation with a screenreader, which is documented in the full install as the "S" option on the install menu.

Re: New Install Fails at Step 14
Step 14 is "Install additional software." If the net install works with speech, then I can do it. Without speech output from the built-in screenreader, it's of no use to me without sighted assistance, which I do not have.

I have already asked him. Here is my question and his reply: - Can the Debian net-install be done with sound? Yes. After the beep I think it's control+S and return. Sometimes it speaks very quietly but it does speak. Quite slowly. I can write more if you need it. Let me know if you would like more!

Re: New Install Fails at Step 14
So since my installation is virgin and is failing at Step 14, should I just start again and see if I get any further this time, or is there anything I should choose or specify differently when trying again?

I don't know what step 14 is, but you could just use the netinst CD and install from the net. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X

Great minds, think alike, Chris - see what I have just posted!! Lisi
Re: New Install Fails at Step 14
No to both, as neither of those options appear in the install script.

Re: New Install Fails at Step 14
Did you set message priority to low and set logs to save to a mounted partition? The first adjustment asks more questions and the second preserves logs if something blows up. I think you can even have the logs saved to floppy disk too.

New Install Fails at Step 14
I'm installing 8.2 from DVD with speech output. At Step 14, I select the packages I want--Web server, ssh server, and #11 which just says it's most of a lot of other things), and the install fails. I am not using a mirror. My DVD's all pass muster as per option 20 (check CD-ROM integrity). Option 14, "Install software," no longer gives me the option of choosing which software I want to install. Further, options 15 and 16 don't work either. They all tell me they can't install anything to /target. Since this is a new install, I'm happy to redo anything at all, right from scratch.
