Re: building a custon talking debian installation image with build essential and other packages on the disc as well as the mate accessible desktop
Hi, I agree as most hardware now requires firmware to use. Is there a document on how to remaster and add packages to the disc either for download or as normal debs that are on the disc?

Also add the Unofficial multimedia sources so blind people can use the non free codecs. It takes a lot of work to make Debian normal. But Debian still is the best, I just wish they'd stop the non free prohibition and put printer and multimedia and Firefox in their ISO.

What would be the best process for building such an image that starts automatically at low priority with speech running and a highor volume level then normal for systems where you would like speech to be not so soft during the installation process?

(Note: "installer main menu" is not the boot menu, where you select "Install", "Graphical install" etc. It's the menu of the installer itself.)
