This is an *audio* install - hence the OPs choice of the Wheezy installer. There is no graphical menu. Boot from wheezy and combine speakup with an expert install and the Squeeze DVDs to build Squeeze. Pick a method to start the speakup installer (the OP provided detailed instructions for one method). Combine it with expert (low debconf). start install with cmdline "/install.386/vmlinux vga=788 priority=low initrd=/install.386/gtk/initrd.gz speakup.synth=soft -- quiet":- ;pick speakup from the menu - edit it to add priority=low ;after disk noise stops press 's' then Enter, at first menu select the ;change priority/debconf ;other variations (one method):- Follow the voice prompted menu... language - choose 6 (English - default) location - 2 locale - 2 additional locale - 135 default locale - 1 *then* choose detect and mount cd-rom which is where you'd add the first Squeeze CD-ROM... <snipped> > > I don't see what you do.
