You may have confused the two audio tutorials, the grml swspeak command doesn't relate to that CD. For the CD you downloaded, you should just press enter and it will boot and speakup should load. Then you will proceed to do the install using the ArchLinux installer. I did do a tutorial on this method however it sounds like you've got the other one. The tutorial you need is ftp://ftp.linux-speakup.org/pub/speakup/audio/blind_archlinux.mp3. For the tutorial you seem to have (the one using the command grml swspeak) you will need the GRML live CD from the GRML website http://www.grml.org. Someone else pointed out that I forgot about mentioning where you get GRML from in that tutorial, may be I need to be a bit more clear. Anyway the tutorial for this method is ftp://ftp.linux-speakup.org/pub/speakup/audio/archlinux_install_from_grml.mp3 I would say that Chris's CD (the one you got) may be easier than using GRML, however I think there may be reasons why using GRML may be preferred. Hope that clears up this issue. Michael Whapples On 01/-10/-28163 08:59 PM, JP Jamous wrote: > I went to this URL and downloaded the I686 ISO.
