This is written as a thank you, and there are no actionable bits. So mail not a bug report to installation-reports.
I had an old laptop and I needed to be able to give someone a computer to use to do office work. So I booted a 10.2.0 amd64 firmware netinst. I needed help selecting the boot device, but that's not Debian's problem. I pressed s at the installation prompt and got speech as expected. Everything worked fine, and I got an accessible system after the reboot. I realize a lot of effort goes into makeing that happen, and it is greatly appreciated. I was even able to install over an encrypted wifi connection. Thanks so much. --Sam
