BlinDIA provides an easy and alternate installer for the Debian OS which is designed especially for blind people.

BlinDIA installer can be run from within a live CD such as GRML. The installation script is portable, extendable, and it only asks a few questions before it runs a debootstrap session to install automatically a new Debian GNU/Linux system.

It also automates and enhances the installation of blindness-related support (such as brltty), so that after rebooting, the PC you will immediately have Braille support at the boot prompt.

Characteristics:
Open
Easy
Fast
Userfriendly
Blindfriendly (/braille-friendly)
Flexible
Installable on a previosly partitionned EXT disk without having to repartition the hard disk later with another tool (like partman or so)
Installable from within a Live-on-CD distribution
Portable (currently available as a "Plain Debian-Installer" from within GRML - Admin and TextTools-oriented Live-on-CD distribution)
