I just want to put my two sense up here. First, manpower issues are understandably not a good thing to have in a project. While I'm not an open source exbert, I'm sure that maintaining the accessibility in GRML can't be easy on the development team. I don't see what's wrong with typing modprobe then say speakup_soft. I honestly hardly care about boot-up messages. Even if you can't run a serial console, you could still use /var/log/dmesg to review the bootup sequence. GRML has done a good job indeed with trying to provide accessible images. Other options exist however, such as the TalkingArch project, and I believe the Gentoo minimal CD can be used with speakup support. I'm not sure if the minimal Gentoo CDs work properly or not with SPeakup, because the last time I tested (back in July) I got no sound whatsoever despite doing everything properly. Thanks everyone! -- Regards, --Keith Website: http://www.keithnet.us Skype: skypedude1234 MSN Messenger: keithint37@hotmail.com Yahoo/AIM/Twitter: keithint1234 Facebook: http://facebook.com/keith.hinton1
