Is the scenario I've just descried even possible? Thanks! As Maurice wrote: because grml is a live-cd you don't have to install anything to be able to use it. Just remove the CD again after you finished your work with grml. If you don't own a hardware synthesizer you might want to use software speakup. Just boot grml with "grml swspeak" and as soon as booting finished (you should hear an informational sound then) type "swspeak" in the commandline. Then the computer should start talking to you. :) regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc _______________________________________________ Grml mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.mur.at/mailman/listinfo/grml join #grml on irc.freenode.org grml-devel-blog: http://grml.supersized.org/
