No, that's not an option (due to maintenance and space reasons) for us, sorry. Especially as speakup (which provides the speech feature) does not work any longer with kernels >=2.6.22. Let's see what future will bring us.

I certainly understand. I did subscribe to the announcement list in case either a different speech engine is used or there is some other way that software speech becomes an option again in grml. In the mean time, it looks like the last Oralux disk works properly on the laptop in question but I sure would have rather used a Debian-based distribution since all my other Linux systems are pure Debian.

Thank you.
