Hi Al: Just let grml boot normally without typing anything at the boot prompt. When it gets done it makes a little beedly-dop sound with the beeper. At that point it is at a menu of choices. Just hit enter and it'll drop to the shell prompt. At that point you can type modprobe speakup_soft or whatever you want to use then espeakup if you want software synth. Good luck.
