Hi

I forgot to also state another obvious i.e. you need a machine that will boot from CD too.

As corrected too you simply got to type at the prompt 'grml swspeak' if you think that you've messed up you can use a ctrl + u to clear the commandline and start again.  Hopefully, you'll get a talking shell to have a play around.  Ovviously you have to have a soundcard that grml can detect and set up.  You'll have to read grml's docs about how to make an install from the live CD.
