However, what about the partition checks and anything else that might require action? Sometimes my system says: " disk check returned errors, dropping you to a shell" and I get a bash prompt so I can do repare tasks (this is before the rc.d scripts could load speech-dispatcher". Do you think there can be a way to get working software speech at this point? David B. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kirk Reiser" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
