Hi all, I have found all the /proc/speakup/* files to put settings in, but they do not hold as defaults when I next boot. Putting echo statements in a script don't seem to restore them either. Could someone offer a clue how to either - get them set to my preference and stay that way when next reboot, or to put something in my .profile or something to restore them when I login. I prefer the former so that settings are common whether on as me or root. Tia, GA! ..... or someone very like me! _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
