When you're booting up, I think you can use the rate keys. When installing FC6 or booting up with the GRML CD, I often changed the rate, volume, and two punctuation levels right after I heard "LiteTalk found." When the system's installed, I put my settings in /etc/rc.local. I hope this helps, and apologize if I miss what the problem is you're trying to solve. al ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Gawronski" <nick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, April 21, 2007 4:33 PM Subject: command line option in speakup to change synthisizer options > Hi, One thing I have found is it is not possible to type for example at > the boot prompt of a live CD or in lilo linux speakup_synth=dectlk > speakup_rate=0 and other such options even if speakup is built into the > kernel or as a module option.
