To get grml using software speech at the boot prompt type: grml swspeak 
<cr> The boot prompt comes up just after your cd stops spinning for a few 
seconds.  If you do a typo, hit control-u to wipe the line or backspace to 
wipe a single character.  If everything works you'll hear a finished 
booting message and be told to type swspeak to get speech going.  Do that 
and you should be on your way.  grml is a security hardened debian 
distribution.  It's easier to make install on a hard drive than ubuntu for 
now.  Ubuntu is working to catch up on that score though.
