I’ve installed Debian with a crypted LVM a few times during the last two months with braille support and I was able to cancel the wiping process of the harddisk during installation without a problem. Do not know how it is when installation is done with speech support only. Cheers, Schoepp

Nick > Gawronski If you're doing an interactive install, the expectation is that you cancel it if you don't want to wait for it, since that seems the way to ensure that people that don't know what they're doing still get a safe result. It's been possible to override this via preseeding (since 2017[1]), either in a preseed.cfg, thus: d-i partman-auto-crypto/erase_disks boolean false or on the kernel command line: partman-auto-crypto/erase_disks=false which you could do in an otherwise interactive install, if that's what you wanted. For more such preseeding hints, check out the example preseed.cfg: https://d-i.debian.org/manual/example-preseed.txt which is linked to from here: https://d-i.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/apbs02.html HTH Cheers, Phil.

Re: Skipping disk erase on Debian text-based installation (fwd)
Hi, I am totally blind and use the s option at boot to start the installer with speech output. If I wish to add this kernel command line option yet still run the installation using software speech output would pressing s then tab and then entering in the command line switches then pressing enter work as control and c does not do the canceling operation like it should and I had to wait until the entire disk was wiped?
