Hi, I have found that grml and software speech mostley spells out words and very slowly. If you do a google search for grml speech you will find a message about this issue. It is caused by the pre empt option in the kernel. rebuilding the kkernel will fix this problem. The question is how would I rebuild the full iso image after doing this and other changes I want to make such as having software speech start automatically? Is there a way to turn a grml system into a plane debian system after it is installed on to a hard drive?
