That being said, being able to properly install from the live CD without network access would be really useful for blind users.This is my guess: * You downloaded the latest GNOME live image for trixie (or ...) fromhttp://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/13.0.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-13.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso
The 13.0.0 live images are broken: they do not attempt to download anything from the internet while installing.
I've used the 13.1 image, since last weekend the point release was made: https://get.debian.org/images/release/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-13.1.0-amd64-gnome.iso

I did an installation with network available and ended up with espeakup installed, but not brltty. Already on the login screen the computer spoke, so that's good.
My qemu settings did not configure a braille reader, so I guess that it is OK to have an installation without brltty? (Or should that be installed anyway, independent of the devices that were detected during the installation?)
I also did a second installation, this time without a network card in the qemu environment. I was stuck at the 'choose-mirror' stage, until I found out that I could use '<' to take a step back (and then accept an installation without mirrors). Here the speech was working fine as well after reboot.
However, I have 'xbrlapi' installed. Is that a successor/substitute for 'brltty'?
With kind regards, Roland
