JFYI: The (isolinux) timeout is 30 seconds. I just implemented a new boot option named 'swspeak' to get software synthesizer support through speakup's sftsyn, speech-dispatcher and speechd-up. You have to boot via 'grml swspeak', then type 'speechd-up' and that's it. (grml 0.6 will drop you to a console directly and won't bring up w3m by default on tty1.) I do not have the hardware to test speakup support other than the software synthesizer but I'm doing my very best to bring you a Linux live-CD with working speakup support. So if anyone could/would test the speakup support or any of the other accessibility related packages as brltty, eflite/flite, emacspeak,.. of development releases you are welcome to join the grml beta-testers (see http://grml.org/beta-tester/ for more details) or just drop me a mail. You can reach me also via IRC on #grml (irc.freenode.org). HTH && regards, -mika- - hoping that the mail reaches the mailinglist via news.gmane -- ,'"`. http://www.michael-prokop.at/ ( grml.org -?
