-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 As a general comment, I got hardware speech to load early now by putting the modules in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules; this includes also, 'speakup_soft start=0'. I can then switch freely between hard and soft speech at will after being logged in. If someone wanted software speech early like this, they could include espeak and espeakup into the initrd but I think challenges would be faced with choosing ALSA devices and ensuring the volume on such a device is enabled to be heard. That sounds like a lot to include in the initrd. I do have one question though; what about other boot time parameters like vga=...? Yes, I'm still trying to figure out why I can't seem to specify a different terminal type. I was thinking with all this initrd stuff that such parmaters couldn't be passed thru lilo/grub anymore. Maybe I'm wrong here but that's my observation so far. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREDAAYFAkkAXPMACgkQWSjv55S0LfHZ7ACg0nFj3FcQKGi06K5ycaNSHLR+ HisAnir1ea7IZIbqPNWqIfQrX9Lk6gI0 =qLRN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
