Huh... I never had any problem burning a grml CD. I've got about 8 of them
here. If I can't find one, I just burn another figuring it's cheaper for me
to burn another one than it is to waste time looking for an existing one.
Christopher said he's currently a Windows user. On my Windows machine, I use
a tool called "ISO Recorder" to make bootable CDs. See:
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/v2.htm
ISO Recorder associates the iso extension with itself so after you do an
install all you have to do is double click on the iso file to launch the
burner. I suppose it's probably too easy which is why I tend to just burn
another disc rather than look around too long for an old one.

grml. With software speech though you give up control from boot up to
shutdown though. http://www.grml.org/ is where to start. You'll need to
download and burn an iso disk on CD. Once you've done that try booting
with the CD in the drive and a few seconds in you'll hear the CDrom stop
at the boot: prompt. You want to type grml swspeak and hit enter. After
that wait. If you hear another message speaking over your sound card it
could be software speech is loaded and the next thing you'll hear is boot
up is finished. If so, type swspeak again and hit enter. From that point
on you'll be in a talking Linux. To do the magic on the hard drive, type
grml2hd and hit enter. You'll have some questions to answer then your
operating system will be installed. Good luck, the hardest part is
getting a good iso burn usually. You might try getting a directory
listing of the CD before you boot it. If you did it right, you'll find
several files and directories on the CD. If you find only the iso file,
congratulations you just made your first Linux coaster excellent for
holding beer mugs and coffee cups. If that happens, it'll be time to try
again. If possible when you get successful make more than one disk and
put extras away in a safe place maybe in an envelope that's labeled. If
anything happens to your working disk, you have backups.
