I am installing with a USB stick.
My user password is correct.
I'll send the logs in a separate email from '/var/log/installer'.
After a while the console with the user account becomes unstable and will
not respond to keyboard input. I am not running the GUI at all. Other
consoles work fine.
A big help would be to include nmcli or nmtui in the utilities installed
with the Debian installer.
Who do I speak to about this?
Also it would be very beneficial if a question be asked during installation
if the user wishes to log into command line or graphical mode.
During the last two installations I didn't have sound for the screen reader
while installing from the ISO image. Fortunately I still had enough vision
to see the screen with a magnifying glass and also run "dpkg-reconfigure
console-setup" as root and make the letters larger on the screen.
More later.
