Mike,
Is image still non-talking when booting up without getting in via the 
network?
I am looking forward to the self-talking Arch.

Hello Erik,

I'll leave the host name of the 1.1 version the same as the first and
the same as Jason's original Emacspeak image.  Which is arch-pi.

Default user will be 'user' and password will be 'password'.  The root
password will be 'root'.

Mike
