Keith, I can confirm that the grml kernel installed and worked just fine on 64 bit Debian Sid. I did not try the speakup and related packages. -- glenn greenfield _______________________________________________ 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/
