Thats a known problem and it depends not on the braille device you are 
using. Because of the complexity of YaST2, the installation tool, the 
screenreader isn't able to focus allways on the important information. 
We tryed to solve that problems but without changes on YaST2 we aren't 
able to do anything :-(. Hopefully the next distros are working better 
during installation.

No. Speechsupport can not be enabled during installation. But even if 
this would be possible, you'd have the same problems.

We recommend to install the system with the default settings leaving 
every thing in the installer unchanged. Skep even the network 
installation etc. After setting up the system this way, you could do 
your changes in the running system, YaST2 will work better on a 
installed system. If you can't do the installation with the defaults, 
you could use autoyast to setup your system automaticly.

Sorry for the problems, we try our best to solve them in future together 
with the YaST2 developpers.
