    Hello,

    Don't hijack threads like this, is is rude.

    Nick Gawronski, le mar. 08 juil. 2025 03:57:23 -0500, a ecrit:
    if you are wanting to do things like rescue mode you have to press < to get back to the main menu then load the rescue mode

    No.

    See https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility#Debian_installer_accessibility

    «
    expert installation, rescue mode, and automatic installation are also
    available with accessibility support. The procedure slightly differs for
    UEFI and BIOS systems: BIOS systems require pressing return after each
    command, UEFI systems don't. Please use the instructions below as
    appropriate. After the boot has completed, a beep should be emitted on
    BIOS systems, while UEFI systems will beep twice. To access these
    advanced functionalities, one has to first enter the "advanced" submenu
    from the boot menu by typing 'a' (on BIOS systems this has to be
    followed by return; on UEFI systems that must not be done). To enable
    speech, pressing 's' (again, followed by return on BIOS systems but not
    on UEFI systems) will enable speech support. Now various shortcuts are available: 'x' for expert installation, 'r' for rescue mode, or 'a' for automated installation. Again, these need to be followed by return when
    using a BIOS system. Also, all of this is with a qwerty keyboard layout.
