Well, first of all, when the boot screen comes up, you type swspeak Try counting to 15 after you turn on the computer, since it'll probably take about 5 or so seconds for your bios, and that will give you some lee way ... After you type swspeak and hit enter, then wait for about a minute or two ...

Yes. You just have to boot using 'grml swspeak' and type 'speechd-up' when booting finished. Notice: I slightly reworked the swspeak feature. grml 0.7 will boot with 'grml swspeak' as well but will provide some sound output already during startup. This means you should be able to notice whether your soundcard works or not already during bootup. And before being dropped into the shell when booting finished you'll get a short notice via sound as well. Starting the software speech support then will work through running 'swspeak'. You can use the speechd-up command as well, but swspeak is an alias to improve the zsh setup for use with speechd-up. Main work on grml 0.7 has been finished, now I'm running some last few tests and updating documentation and webpage for the new release. Expect to find grml 0.7 in the next few days on the mirrors. I also wrote some documentation for accessibility related issues in the grml-wiki: http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=accessibility If you have any feedback I'll appreciate it if you send it to me.

* Turning my windows laptop in to a linux laptop ` Sina Bahram ` Glenn at home @ ` Farhan ` Gregory Nowak 1 sibling, 1 reply; 9+ messages in thread From: Farhan @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Hi all, I have a couple of issues, and these are my options. Back in February, I found a dell inspiron 2500 for about $450 on overstock.com. When i got the thing, it had came with Windows xp home, I thought ok, fine what ever so i installed a screenreader on it, first problem. The dcm was all screwed up and i had no way of fixing this, well after that i almost got a refund on it sinse i had no way of fixing it and I tried everything. I finally reformatted and got a propper coppy of windows on it, and yeh, dcm is still screwed, so today, i was messing with grml on it, and it seemed to work. Can someone please help me out here and help me turn this laptop in to a linux machine, this dcm thing is really geting to me, and i want to find something a little bit more useable. The specs on this laptop are. pentium III 800 mhz with 256 mb of ram and a 20 gig harddrive. I have no external synth sinse the one I had well sort of got killed by a freakly high windstorm. Is there anyway i could install grml to the harddrive, still using the swspeak kernel, and use speechd-up on boot up to get speakup to speak from there? Sorry for all the stupid questions.
