Its on the web site of the International Association of visually Impaired Technologists. See: http://wiki.iavit.org/index.php/Accessing_grml I think you may have downloaded an older version of grml though. The current release does not have large, medium, and small versions. The 32 bit download is 315Mb. It should beep at the isolinux prompt and it should play a 4 note tune through the PC speaker when its finished booting. Anyway, to answer your questions, the speakup modules have not been removed but they are no longer built into the kernel. So that means you have to load them after boot. But that has been made easier because grml now plays a tune when its done booting. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marcel Oats" To: Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2012 8:11 PM Subject: Is speakup no longer included in grml releases? > Hi, I am fairly sure this has been answered before, so excuse me.
