Help with Speakup and Linux?

[Kirk Reiser]

Hi Blake: I believe the problem was that you tried to enter two
different commands on the command line.  If you are running the most
recent full version of grml: Place the CD/ramstick in the computer and
wait for it to make a cute beedly-bop noise from your PC speaker.
Then hit enter to get to the command line promp.  Then on separate
lines type "modprobe speakup_soft" and following that "espeakup".  All
without the quotation marks of course.

Good luck.
