Since the method on starting software speech in grml has changed, and since I have no clue what old post you're following, I'll describe the process from the start. 1. Boot from your grml media. 2. You should hear a single beep, this is the boot menu, press enter. 3. After some time depending on the media you're booting from, you should hear a series of beeps, which you described as annoying. This is a configuration menu, just press enter to leave it. 4. You should now be at a root prompt. Here you can type: modprobe speakup_soft espeakup If all went well, you should now get speech. Sometimes I don't get speech when doing this. If that happens, pressing the enter key starts things talking for me. Good luck.
