Try as I might, I absolutely could not hear the internal speaker beep on either of the two systems I tried this on. Turns out, the speaker itself is buried deep, and I mean really deep, in the case, covered up by lots of other components. Therefore, having grml come up talking would be, to say the least, most efficacious. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
