Kerry,
I downloaded the 32 bit version of GRML, and used the USB installer and put
it onto my 4GB thumbdrive.
I ran:
modprobe speakup_soft espeakup
And I got speech, but it does not echo my typing, nor can I find a way of
reviewing what is on the screen.
I am familiar with Orca, in Ubuntu, but this has me stumped.
This is on an Asus ePc which runs XP okay, I don't remember if I upgraded
the RAM to 1GB or 2GB, but either way, it should be enough.
How do I control the speech better?
Thanks

Speakup is included however the accessability boot options are gone.
Boot the cd, wait for the beeps from the speaker, hit q to exit the
quick config screen then key in
modprobe speakup_soft
espeakup
You should get speech.
Options to load into ram still exist on the cheatsheet as far as I can
tell and you can still do
<tab> ssh=password
to get an ssh server running on the box.
Regards, kerry.
