Change Speech language according to the lang cheat-code
by Cleverson 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Hello all I don't know if there is time enough to add this feature for the next GRML stable release. Anyways, here is my request: Whenever one chooses a language at the boot prompt by issueing the lang cheat-code, and then issue swspeak too, it would be nice if the ESpeak synthesiser came speaking in that specified language. In my case it would be Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR). I don't have technical skills enough to submit a patch, but I'm almost sure it can be done editing both "/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf" and "/etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak.conf" files. Many thanks Cleverson

Hi Mika: Just saw that there are new devel releases available as of yesterday. Congratulations, and thanks for the hard work.

installing dhcpcd requires removing grml packages
by Peter 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

Hi I would like to say: aptitude install dhcpcd but aptitude wants to remove pump which in turn want to remove : grml grml-autoconfig grml-debugtools grml-etc grml-x grml2hd This seems like a lot of change. Is it possible to use dhcpcd without making grml unstable ? Also, I was wondering, according to various threads I read, if dhcpcd is not superior to pump, so why has it not been selected for the distribution ? Thank a lot Peter

file-rc
by T o n g 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Hi, During my recent (massive) 'aptitude safe-upgrade', my file-rc was automatically removed. Is grml still using file-rc? I want to use back the file-rc. Any precautions I should take? I.e., how do I find out what is the current ??-rc that I'm using? thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/

[grml2usb] Minimize the number of files in the root directory on the usb drive
by Sebastian Krause 15 Sep '08

15 Sep '08

Hello! When I copy grml to a usb pen drive with grml2usb, it puts 30 files and directories into the root directory of that drive. Since I also want to use that drive for other stuff (like portable apps, multimedia files etc.) it's not nice to see my drive cluttered with dozens of files when I access it in some file manager. I've seen some live systems (I guess it was http://sidux.com/) which only need very few files to boot and put almost all of them into some subdirectory so that my directory structure stays pretty clean. It would be nice if grml could achive something similar, or are there any good reasons against this? Sebastian

Hi, Is it ok to use a plain directory as the '--target' parameter for grml-debootstrap? Seems so to me according to the grml-debootstrap(8) and the debootstrap/config file. But this is what I get: * Running grml-debootstrap on a directory, nothing to mount. * Running grml-debootstrap on a directory, nothing to mount. * Error: /lfs/cache12/systems/distros/test-sys not mounted, can not con [ !! ] Ps, I'm using the lastest grml-debootstrap released today: $ apt-cache policy grml-debootstrap grml-debootstrap: Installed: 0.20 Candidate: 0.20 Version table: *** 0.20 0 683 http://deb.grml.org grml-testing/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/
