About a year ago, I asked on this list how to get Grml to load a
kernel module during boot. Somebody sent a script which I modified and
posted on my web space at the University Of Wisconsin. But it turns out
there is a much easier way. All you have to do is provide grml2usb
with the Linux kernel boot parameter to load the module. For example, to
load the kernel module to start the Speakup screen reader for the
LiteTalk hardware speech synthesizer, do this:
# grml2usb --bootoptions="modules-load=speakup_ltlk"
grml-full-2026.04-amd64.iso /dev/sdbX
Connect a LiteTalk synth, boot from the thumb drive, and it will come up
talking -- no guessing when it's done booting, no typing via guesswork.
