Hi, I used the S option to get speech during the installation then
enabled the network console using the loading menu options and then
entered in my password so had speech the entire installation and was
mainly testing out the network console. Are you saying even if I do
that and have speech if I install using the network console speech will
not be turned on after the installation even if it is used to start the
network console? Nick Gawronski

Windows 10 was probably why you didn't get speech post-install.
Starting debian with the s boot parameter turns on speech that debian
produces for the installation then by default keeps speech turned on
post-install. Use of a console with windows 10 enabled you to get the
text over the console so I suspect you failed to enable debian speech
during installation. I hope this solves one of your problems.

Hi, The name of the iso I was using is firmware-8.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso
and it is in the archive for the debian-installer. I ran the
installation using this image as my network cards both wired and
wireless require firmware and I also ran the installation on low
priority and choose to install everything like non-free as well as
backports. For the main tasks for this text based installation I
selected just the standard system as I want this system to be small.
Everything installed just fine and I was connected to the
installation over the network as I wanted to test out the network
console using my windows 10 system and was able to follow all prompts
but then once the Debian system rebooted no internet settings were on
the system in the /etc/network/interfaces or any other wifi packages
that were installed such as wpa_supplicant. My question is why does
the installer not copy over the wireless networking settings from the
installer to the target system when doing a text only install with
speech? Nick Gawronski

Could you give us the full name of the Jessie ISO?
as I am totally blind and found that the latest installer once it
was installed I had no software speech after installing the system.
It depends on how you install your system. If you install you system
in braille or in "normal" way it's the normal effect.
I was installing Debian Jessie on my laptop with just a text based
system mainly for a rescue system for when X windows is down and
for times when I don't wish to use X windows. I found that during
the installation I was able to connect to the internet and
successfully install the system but once the system was rebooted I
had no internet access over any network method.
As I know, It seems there is no link with accessibility in this case.
What would it take for the debian installation to copy the network
settings from the installer to the target system as it makes no
sence why networking would be setup and working during a text based
installation but not in the target system? What file should I edit
to add my wireless network as well as my wired network using DHCP
so they both will work when my text based system boots? Nick

The tips I use is to install a new driver for your Debian system.
For doing something like that you need to follow some steps :
1) Find the model of your card and the related firmware package in
Debian, if it's a Intel Wireless card it's the package
firmware-iwlwifi
<https://packages.debian.org/fr/jessie/firmware-iwlwifi>
2) Add the backports repo in your environment as explained in this
page : http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
3) Install the new package with a command like that : "apt-get
install -t jessie-backports FIRMWARE_NAME"
