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?

Hi, Majid Hussain wrote: > hi there, > how do you get back to the main menu of the net install iso? > after you press the s key? > Majid Pressing the Back button (one or more times) always brings you to the installer main menu. (Note: "installer main menu" is not the boot menu, where you select "Install", "Graphical install" etc. It's the menu of the installer itself.)

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 am totally blind and know about pressing s to start the installer with speech as I do this then go back to the main menu and set debconf priority to low so I have the most control during the installation process. I looked into the simple-cdd package for building a debian installation image but could not find out how to include the full mate debian desktop with orca the screen reader setup for speech as well as build-essential and other development packages. 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?
