I started off with RedHat6.2 but now I am using Debian2.2 R2 with a 2.2.18 kernel with speakup0.10 patched in to it. Now, I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas about how I can change the default speed of speakup speach when it first boots up. I am aware that you can put scripts in your /etc/rc.boot and rc2.d and all that, but I want to have speakup talking right from the start at rate=9 (I have a double talk pc internal) What I would really like it to do, is when lilo has loaded the kernel, it usually says "Double talk found linux version 2.2.18 root@hydrogengcc......." and all that, but it is in about rate=5 or something. What I would like it to do is straight away say: "Speakup inisialised" then for it to go straight to rate=9 then shut it up, unless I touch the keyboard (same as pressing the number pad enter key) If anyone has any ideas on how this could be achieved, please email me "mick@blindcity.com" I can right pretty good bash scripting, and understand about compiling kernels now, and I am a perfisiant linux user, I have to be because I run our home network, actually dad runs a business and he uses the network. but I do not know C or C++ and all that.
