I thought you ran a graphical desktop environment (?). Doing so
without a pointing device sounds like a lot of work.
If a lack of a pointing device causes d-i to install accessibility
tools that you do not want, I suggest connecting a pointing device
during installation.
The point you are missing is hat the mouse is a wireless mouse, rx'd by
a usb button. There is not a surviving wired mouse in West Virginia. I
suggested that the installer was broken and got all kinds of hell for
that. So let me ask then what the heck do I use for a pointing
device????? _ALL_ other usb stuff was unplugged for those roughly 30
installs. Apt would not remove them after the install, complaining about
dependencies. So I wound up finding and rm'ing the executables. Having
orca yelling every keystroke at around 130 db, during which time other
keystrokes are missed makes using a computer VERY frustrating. I am
hoping however, that by the time trixie is out, that might be fixed. But
the attitude seems to indicate it won't be. This however, is still
buckets better than fedora where you are always the sickly lab rat.
But possibly another clue. As I type this, t-b is trying to save the
draft every 5 minutes and failing, popping up a requestor asking if it
should wait or quit. Any key cancels the requester, and the bottom line
of t-b says copy failed. Another is that about half the time, send is
instant, but the next time it might take 2 to 5 more minutes, size of
msgs doesn't seem to have any effect.
IMO, we are wasting everybodies time, I am generally getting what I want
to do, done, sometimes slower, but still getting it done. Learning
composition tricks that speed up OpenSCAD. Uptime's are generally in
the 2 week category till it totally freezes half way to the next
workspace, which I usually have a dozen of with up to 8 tabs per
workspace open. I'm running t-b from the cli as me, and I've chowned -R
gene:gene /home many times in case its a perms problem. t-b seems to
have problems.
3. So hooking that up would probably trigger the install of orca and
brltty despite specifically skipping by that question from the
installer.. IDK, haven't tried it.
I have an older PS/2 VGA KVM switch with too many adapters. The mouse
and/or keyboard die periodically, and I must power cycle the right
equipment to get them working again. I run the Xfce desktop, and the
KVM episodes do not trigger installation of accessibility software.
Won't do this below either, because putting it back together would be
the equ of pulling a new mobo out of the box and building it all up
from scratch again.
Yes. Reduce complexity, document your work so that it is repeatable,
and you will be in a much better position to troubleshoot any issues.
Those 2 slots, rumor has it only 1 will work, but which one? No one
can tell me.

Please RTFM:

They are buried UNDER several other cards,
That should be removed during the next fresh install.
Maybe by then wifi will be secure, it is sure not now when a neighbor
with a hell fone can use 60GB of my bandwidth a month w/o leaving a
log. That was not found until i had a new printer do a band scan and
it showed up in my ipv4 address block.
Please configure your gateway and/or access points:
- Enable WPA2/WPA3 security and set a secure password.
- Enable MAC filtering, enter the MAC addresses of your devices, and
block all other MAC addresses.
