Hi,

as of beta2, the graphical bootloader (the one on the install media)
supports speech output via pc-speaker. That is, it reads all menu items to
you.

This feature is mainly there to aid visual impaired people.

It's still experimental and I'd like to get your feedback whether it works
or not on your machine.

To try it, simply press F9. (In the worst case, your machine will freeze at
this point.)

Please report positive (if any) and negative results.


Thanks,

Steffen
