Hi all I had a situation the other day that I hope someone can give me a satisfactory solution to. I needed to reboot one of my linux systems from work the other day. It just happens that the system I needed to reboot was running speakup. It took the system ages to come back online due to speakup speaking absolutely everything during the startup sequence. This is great when I'm actually at the console, but a pain when i'm remote. Other than switching the doubletalk lt off before I leave, does anyone have any solutions to the above problem?
