trouble installing linux

[Kerry Hoath]

Lots of people have said this ironically enough pressing tab puts you after 
the existing boot parameters so you do the following:
boot the cd wait for it to stop swishing, hit tab.
key in swspeak
then hit enter, grml comes up talking.
Escape probably does stuff also but tab has worked with every copy of grml 
2009.10 i've booted off thum drive or cd.
Usually on thumb drive however I set the swspeak into the boot options when 
I make the thumb drive with grml2usb.
Regards, Kerry.
