I don't know what step 14 is, but you could just use the netinst CD and
install from the net.

Step 14 is "Install additional software." If the net install works
with speech, then I can do it. Without speech output from the built-in
screenreader, it's of no use to me without sighted assistance, which I
do not have.

Sorry.  I hadn't taken in that you couldn't see.  I have a blind friend who 
installs Debian periodically.  I'll ask him exactly how he does it.

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.

I have already asked him.  Here is my question and his reply:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Can the Debian net-install be done with sound?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes.  After the beep I think it's control+S and return.  Sometimes it
speaks very quietly but it does speak.  Quite slowly.

I can write more if you need it.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Let me know if you would like more!
