Yeah, I noticed that too. I thought it was supposed to do that.

Not sure if anyone was aware of this, however I became aware through a friend of mine that Knoppix's boot prompt actually talks. I heard his Dectalk say something like ":/boot" and before that a Syslinux version number. Does anyone know how something like this can be accomplished/was accomplished? Bc before that version of Knoppix, I thought that a talking boot prompt was out of the question. Does anyone know if possibly there was a microkernel running in a ramdisk that then executed Syslinux?
