Accessible image backup and restore program?

[Kirk Reiser]

Hi Al: Just let grml boot normally without typing anything at the boot
prompt. When it gets done it makes a little beedly-dop sound with the
beeper. At that point it is at a menu of choices. Just hit enter and
it'll drop to the shell prompt. At that point you can type modprobe
speakup_soft or whatever you want to use then espeakup if you want
software synth.

Good luck.
