SpeakUp Running Issues

[Michael Whapples]

You may have confused the two audio tutorials, the grml swspeak command 
doesn't relate to that CD.

For the CD you downloaded, you should just press enter and it will boot 
and speakup should load. Then you will proceed to do the install using 
the ArchLinux installer. I did do a tutorial on this method however it 
sounds like you've got the other one. The tutorial you need is 
ftp://ftp.linux-speakup.org/pub/speakup/audio/blind_archlinux.mp3.

For the tutorial you seem to have (the one using the command grml 
swspeak) you will need the GRML live CD from the GRML website 
http://www.grml.org. Someone else pointed out that I forgot about 
mentioning where you get GRML from in that tutorial, may be I need to be 
a bit more clear. Anyway the tutorial for this method is 
ftp://ftp.linux-speakup.org/pub/speakup/audio/archlinux_install_from_grml.mp3

I would say that Chris's CD (the one you got) may be easier than using 
GRML, however I think there may be reasons why using GRML may be preferred.

Hope that clears up this issue.
