trouble installing linux

[Alex H.]

A note about VirtualBox. I think you still need to use the commandline
as the interface is still pretty inaccessible, or at least it was.

When booting GRML, you'll know if speakup will load because you'll get
a message saying something about typing swspeak again after booting
finished.
