-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Here's a shot at answering some of your questions that didn't quite get answered earlier. In grml, some of the consoles bring up screen by default which has a status line, at least in the grml versions - hence the 0 ssh that it was trying to read. Just type exit or hit control d in the shell and it should exit the screen, then you can ssh as usual. Regarding menuconfig, you can hit caps lock + f5 to edit the some punctuation setting, hit star and space to enable the star to be spoken. Alternatively, caps + f9 through f12 control the reading punctuation and the screen punctuation - setting them to 3 should work (f9 and f11 decrease, f10 and f12 increase). maybe this will help a bit. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkitx9sACgkQTsjaYASMWKQzZgCeNoaypinUS3giaH1EUk9/wYrx LS0An3t6Krubu23GXwZ3gr13ndOU2mbq =oRXl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
