Hello,
It is the indiana 2008.11-101aRC1B release you want. Both the primary 
language and global language ones support accessible install. To know 
whether the sound is the problem or if you have the wrong CD, do you get 
a beep at the language selection menu? (The language selection menu 
appears after some time when you have pressed down cursor a good number 
of times and pressed enter at the boot menu) I think the beep should 
work regardless of sound working or not as it uses the PC speaker device 
rather than the sound card.

Also as a note, I have mentioned here some of the problems I have 
encountered (eg. audio levels not being saved, java access bridge not 
working, etc) so if you don't want to have to work around some of these 
bugs then it might not be for you at the moment. Hopefully these bugs 
can be fixed before the final release and that may be better for those 
who really want everything just to work.
