Hello, You probably need cpufreq to fix the CPU issue. As for installing, I recommend debootstrap. I've never had luck with the talking install, and judging from some past threads a lot of people are in the same boat; it's fairly easy to do and straight foward. You just need to format, make your filesystems, mount --bind /dev mount_point/dev same with sys and proc, debootstrap lenny mount_point, chroot mount_point /bin/bash, grab a kernel and grub, set the root password with passwd root. If you want software speech that's easy as well: just remember to set KERNELDIR in the makefile of speakup to point to the kernel in the chrooted environment, otherwise it uses uname -R (which is probably not your kernel in the chroot), but the kernel that GRML is running.
