That's quite all right, it's not something that's really important unless the non-full installs don't include screenreader support durinig the actual install, which they probably don't. You don't even have to ask your friend. If you happen to have a copy of the distro handy, boot it, and tell me if there's an option to start the installation with a screenreader, which is documented in the full install as the "S" option on the install menu.
