There's a neat trick I use for my Arch system. Once you got the base
system installed from the vanilla .iso and it comes up talking
Install xorg/xorg-xinit and Orca/speech-dispatcher and your DE of
choice. Remember the command to start it. You'll need it in a seconnd
once you install dialog/yad. Now clone Strychnine from
git.2mb.codes/~stormdragon2976 and go into the directory, and run
./setup.sh -x
With your desktop installed, open up .xinitrc in your favorite console
text editor and go down to the last line. Change exec ratpoison to your
desktop, i.e. mate-session or the correct one for that DE.
Save the file. startx and you get a talking DE without having to mess
with .bashrc or .bash_profile.
I'm not sure I'd automate that bit however, I prefer doing that by hand
but it saves a lot of time in the long run as well with setting stuff up
