To be compared with the increase brought by the graphical installer. > The main issue for me is that it makes a switch to using G-I as default > less possible as it increases the memory usage for the "not enough memory > to run the graphical installer, but can fall back to the newt frontend" > use case.

I do miss Japanese and Korean though. Ah indeed, I'm not aware of a speech synthesizer for them, though. Does anybody on debian-accessibility know? I guess the reason is that automatic reading of kanjis is very difficult, but since it is done for chinese it should be doable for jp & ko. > > I'm ok with separate accessibility images, but not with separate > > accessibility CDs, because that's creating a ghetto. > > I would be against having an additional 14MB initrd on the regular CD > images. That wouldn't be 14MB as we do not even support reading the graphical installer. That'd still be ~8MB yes. > However, having a 2MB _incremental_ initrd that is chainloaded only if a > specific boot option is selected would be acceptable, especially if other > accessibility additions were moved there as well. That would be an option indeed. > Question is how syslinux supports it. At worse I'd take the time to implement it.
