That is really great. Thanks for your feedback.

Problems:

1. Could not get the ssh server to start. Has the ssh=<password>

cheat code been removed?

No. I just tested it with an little bit older build and it works without a problem. Maybe you didn't have a network connection?

2. Could not load speakup kernel module for my synth at the boot

prompt. I understand that the grml cheat codes for loading speakup have been removed. But I thought there was a way to load kernel modules at boot. The grml documentation references this document on kernel.org:

http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

If I read that correctly, I should be able to type 'grml modprobe speakup_ltlk' at the boot prompt.

No. This document specifies how you can specify module parameters. One way is to specify the parameters after providing the name on the modprobe command like:

modprobe modulename moduleparameter=value

The other solution is to specify modulename.moduleparameter=value at the boot commandline.
