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.
