Hi!
Harsh words Ralf. :-)
OK, I never installed Debian myself using the install disks. But a friend
did it. Debian does support blidn users. I don't know about the graphical
install exactly, since we prefer the text based version. But I think they
might. There is an Orca package for Debian and it works OK. But the latest
Debian didn't include Orca - the screenreader - a few weeks ago.
But there is always brltty for simpl e braille display access to the
console. there might also be something like speakup or espeak or whatever to
enable speech output for the commandline.
Knoppix did support blind users as well. There is Vinux, which is a Debian
version specially compiled for blind users. So screen reader support and some
slight reordering of the desktop to be more obliging.
there are other - completely unrelated - distros, which support blind and
otherwise impaired users. But doesn't Knoppix have its own installer anymore?
Best regards
Julien
