So, I am assuming that if these boot options will not do the trick, it may be easer to take another approach? I would really like to have software speech so I don't need to carry this external around with me, but, if I have to rely on ssh or serial, I can do that. Just wanted to get an opinion from someone who knows alot more than me. I will defenitly give the options here a try and see what happens though. Thanks for the help.
