I agree on changing the subject line, especially since Richard also
removed the on point question.
As for avoiding the post containing the information I got regarding
changing the boot priorities and installing squeeze instead of wheezy from
the debian accessibility wiki, I hope no one avoids it. serves to clarify
why I was trying to do what I am still trying to do.

In fact, I will put that data again, so it is back with this thread.

Debian installer accessibility
The Debian installer has braille, speech, and contrast accessibility
features which are documented in the installation manual for the
stable release,the last upload of the installation manual for the
testing release , as well asthe current draft for next upload.
USB devices are automatically detected, serial devices need
configuration at boot.
In addition to the existing hardware speech support in the installer of
Squeeze (Debian 6.0), software speech will be supported in Wheezy
(Debian 7.0), the daily builds (the netboot mini.iso for instance
i386amd64) have it: when you get at the boot menu (a beep is
emitted), simply press s and enter.
If speech synthesis does not come up, we need information to find out
where the bug is. Inside the installer, press alt-f2 to switch to a
shell console, press enter to start the shell, and type
amixer scontrols
and post the output todebian-accessibil...@lists.debian.org so we
can know whether a sound card was detected and what the volume level
names are. If only an error message shows up, or if you do not have
resources to be able to read the shell console, please try to run a
live CD, make sound work with it, and post the output of lsmod to
debian-accessibil...@lists.debian.org so we can know what sound
driver is missing.
Images for squeeze with software speech can be downloaded from
http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/espeakup/ but they don't seem
to be working any more due to kernel update in the official archive. As
a replacement, the testing images (i.e. Wheezy) can be downloaded from
]http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer , and when given the
archive mirror choice, type '<' to get back to main menu, change the
priority to lowest, enter the mirror selection part again in the main
menu, and then one can choose to install Squeeze instead of Wheezy, and
change the priority to high again with the same method.

Reconsider that changing the subject in a way, we would do it for
private mails, isn't helpful on a mailing list, since the context gets
lost, because not everybody does follow the whole thread.
I guess you'll get more response within the day, if you avoid subjects
such as "the information I got, was unique install question? [Clarify
your needs]".
Best,
Ralf
