Hi all. Not sure if anyone was aware of this, however I became aware 
through a friend of mine that Knoppix's boot prompt actually talks. I 
heard his Dectalk say something like ":/boot" and before that a Syslinux 
version number. Does anyone know how something like this can be 
accomplished/was accomplished? Bc before that version of Knoppix, I 
thought that a talking boot prompt was out of the question. Does anyone 
know if possibly there was a microkernel running in a ramdisk that then 
executed Syslinux? Thanks!
