they have streamlined this since 2010.5. Boot the cd, it spins up. hit tab, then just type in swspeak or whatever you want and hit enter. I usually do the following: boot cd, it is at the splash screen, hit tab. type: swspeak ssh=grml then I get speech and an ssh session with grml set as the login name and password. you can ssh in as user grml with password grml, then sudo su Regards, Kerry.
