Hi all I believe this is the right list for this topic. I downloaded
the latest version of GRML linux and I put the CD in to my computer
and when I type
modprobe speakup_soft espeakup
no speech is started. However for some reason if I type espeak and hit
inter it starts talking but it wont report anything on the screen. If
I type "LS" and hit inter it just says "LS" and thats it. The numpad
keys do not function at all. I also tried typing swspeak but that
didn't work. Any ideas here? I downloaded the full version that was
like 700 MB and tried it with the 32 and 64 bits.
