Re: Debian Installer Trixie RC 2

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

I just installed Debian 13 trixie rc2 on a hp mini desktop which only 
allows booting with uefi/efi.

1. unfortuneately this means that debian will not auto start with screen 
reader after 30 seconds as when booting up on a legacy computer which 
has no uefi.

2. during the install wizard, we must partition the disk. on rc2 i 
experience that the screen reader read each partition as blank, this 
prevents blind people from to partitioning their disks during the 
installation.

Best kind regards
Kenneth
