system with speakup software already installed?

[mariachiac at aim.com]

Hello,
I would be intrested in installing grml. How would i use it would the debian respos? Would i just use the lenny ones or unstable like in debian? Also it has software speech installed so is this a module build against the kernel?

Thanks,
Alonzo

that helps a ton. I think I'm going to run it in a few and see if I can get 
it running.
I think grml comes with wireless support, which is going to be really nice 
for my laptop, assuming I can get it going.
