Well, possibly when it's related to accessibility, but here it's really not, and thus you won't get expertise on the matter from debian-accessibility@. I have thus Cc-ed debian-boot@, since that's where expertise on the matter is. Normally, debian-boot should be able to help non-sighted people too. > I tried to install it on an unused laptop I'm having, using the iso > downloaded from this torrent: > https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/10.4.0+nonfree/amd64/bt-dvd/firmware-10.4.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso.torrent > > It started wonderfully, speech came up immediately and the installation went > smoothly until it tried to connect to the Internet.

I don't know more about the potential tricks with iwlwifi, thus leaving up to debian-boot. Samuel
