Is speakup no longer included in grml releases?

Hi, I am fairly sure this has been answered before, so excuse me.  I just 
downloaded grml2011.12 (both 64 and 32bit versions) and noticed that their 
"large" distribution (around 700mb of iso) is no longer available.  They do 
not mention speakup support in their list of boot options.
I am wanting to use this as you can load the squashfs into ram and have it 
run from there; I usually remaster it so as additional programmes that I 
have included are available, and we have software speech, instead of having 
to rely on a hardware synth.
I might have to look for another distro, and hope that it is possible to 
load the squashfs filesystem into ram as well.

Useful to do such things as running Terabyte's Image for Linux and create BD 
backups is an example of the kinds of uses I have.

Thanks,
Marcel
