So far, I've successfully installed debian using the speakup-enabled sarge iso available from the speakup ftp site. Now I need to know where to put the parameters to make speakup startup when I start this machine using my braille'nspeak. I know when I started the iso, I used speakup_synth=bns is that the same string I will use here? Where do I place that string? If I forget to configure speakup to talk during boot, can I just use that boot parameter at the boot prompt? Yes I looked at the fadora howto but I thought I'd ask here because I don't know how of that information is the same under debian.
