Re: Debian live stable images with just console and software speech using espeakup
hi, the debian netinstall images include obly the debian installer (which is an autonomous OS), and the debian installer can give you access to a minimal console with many useful utilities. give it a try and let us know if it is what you need On December 23, 2017 9:10:22 PM GMT+01:00, Nick Gawronski wrote: >Hi, I was looking for a Debian live disc that is just for console use >for >doing things like copying off files and installing a basic console >Debian >system using software speech.

Re: Debian live stable images with just console and software speech using espeakup
Hi, I guess but then I would have to go threw all of the screens to do things like copy off files from my system I want something that is a little more full featured then the Debian installation images and that has tools to get work done. I guess I could connect to my wireless network then load the debs for what I needed but I would rather have a basic console live disc that loads into ram when it boots so I can remove the disc or USB stick for faster usage in the live system.

Re: xclip problem
As of now, I removed the entire graphical user environment from this disk since I was getting too much keyboard latency and probably install it later then I will return to this problem. Before that, I'll try all of this with a system that doesn't use startx to run the graphical user environment and see if I get lucky in there. For those that use startx to start their graphical user environments, does a way exist to stop the graphical user environment and return to command line environment short of powering down the system?

Dyslectics also use screen readers so the audience is likely larger than you think.

Debian live stable images with just console and software speech using espeakup
Hi, I was looking for a Debian live disc that is just for console use for doing things like copying off files and installing a basic console Debian system using software speech. I searched the Debian live project but could not find just console images they all had a desktop on them which I don't need. Could this be looked into for times where a minimal live disc is needed?
