Re: [orca-list] debian vs. ubuntu

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Why do you need the sighted assistance to install debian? GRML as well 
as installing GRML to HD can install plain debian, look at the 
grml-debootstrap command http://grml.org/grml-debootstrap/ for details.

When you said there is no installer for debian with software speech, did 
you mean no installer using orca.
