Hello,
The swspeak script run after boot was what I refered to. Coming from a
Gentoo system, I'm mostly used to setting things like speechd-up and
speech-dispatcher to start on system startup, and having the sftsyn support
compiled directly into the kernel.
Maybe the GRML people have a specific reason for doing this the way they
do?
Thanks,
Zack.
