Hiya,
I've successfully installed GRML to my hard disk. Software speech seems to work quite well now, though the need to add an extra command at the end puzzles me. What exactly is swspeak supposed to do? Can I automate it? Is there a way to make this system more Debian-like?
Thanks muchly,
Zack.

As for what it does, without having looked at the cd structure, I'd suspect that the boot scripts check for the presence of swspeak on the isolinux command-line, and prepare the system for software speech if they find it, (I.E. configure the soundcard, play the wav files you hear during and after boot, load the sftsyn module, ETC.). Again, without having looked at the swspeak script you run after boot, I'd suspect that it loads up speechd-up, and does whatever wasn't done during boot, though I do wonder if what the swspeak script does couldn't be done as part of the boot process, if swspeak is found on the isolinux command-line, instead of having to run another script after boot.

Hello, The swspeak script run after boot was what I refered to. Coming from a Gentoo system, I'm mostly used to setting things like speechd-up and speech-dispatcher to start on system startup, and having the sftsyn support compiled directly into the kernel. Maybe the GRML people have a specific reason for doing this the way they do?
