Thanks for those instructions on enabling Speakup within GRML. It definitely works. However, is there a way to turn the beep volume down before booting? I was startled by the very loud four-beep sequence that my laptop generated upon entering the root prompt. Rob, you make it sound so easy. That is, building LFS with Speakup. Are there any concrete example you may be able to give to accomplish this. Maybe like a short summary of the commands you had to enter to enable the staging tree driver? I must admit, I am a relative newcomer to the Linux world, and probably the most advanced task that I've done has been to install Arch successfully on an old computer, with the aid of the Talking Arch image, of course. However, I want to dig deeper into the Linux development structure so that I can start creating and tinkering with live images with speech in mind. I've made a few useful apps here and there for use within the console, but remastering and such is a whole different area that I want to understand.
