Hello, Justin. You know...I just looked at the GRML FAQ, and it looks like there is a way to install GRML to a hard drive, but they do not explain how to do so there. And apparently it is not supported. So the only straightforward approach is that of installing a straight Debian system using grml-debootstrap. I am just guessing, then, that the edition of Debian which is installed does not contain the espeakup package installed...I am not sure. If I can do it tonight, I'll try and install it in a virtual machine and see what happens. I could have sworn I saw a grml2hd script mentioned somewhere. Sorry about that.
