Re: building a custon talking debian installation image with build essential and other packages on the disc as well as the mate accessible desktop

[Nick Gawronski]

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?  Nick Gawronski

Nick,
Please use the non free images because many blind people are connecting by 
Wi-Fi and the drivers are only on the non free images. 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.

Best wishes,

David

      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?  Nick Gawronski
