Re: Regarding running Linux with Speakup under a virtual machinewith Windows XP

["Gregory Nowak" <greg@romuald.net.eu.org>]

Another option is to use ntldr, the windows nt loader. There is a minihowto 
describing how to do this under winnt4, but I can tell you from experience 
that if you follow that, the procedure under winxp at least is exactly the 
same as described.
