On this topic it is something I never really worked out, why does GRML require me to type swspeak once booting finishes as surely the start up script which gives the speech messages (eg. "software speech has been enabled, type swspeak once booting finishes" or something like that) could run the swspeak command for me.
And the question is also, why does that second "swspeak" open a new shell? It should stay to the shell opened at startup.
Related to this, when I do grml2hd the HD installation when it starts will not come up automatically speaking, even if I used swspeak for install. This has caught me and I think others out in the past, as the instructions from the speech messages tell you type swspeak once booting finishes but the HD installation puts you at a login screen so you need to log in first.
This is new to me, but I never started the grml2hd with speech, I used braille and this does not happen. Perhaps because I started the script using some parameters, such as the target drive and the place where the boot manager has to be written. Hermann
