Grml has a tool for remastering itself. The tool is called grml-live. I have never used it myself. I used to release a customized version of grml that came up talking if you had a doubletalk LT attached to your system. I haven't done that for years. But I keep intending to put out a custom grml that comes up talking via software speech. I just haven't had time. I would do this only if I could figure out a way to proceduralize it so that I could run a script with each new grml release. I figure if I can't do that, then grml is broken. Anyway, if you give grml a try and build a custom version, let me know. On 12/01/13 22:51, Techswing33 wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions.
