I must say I was surprised when I read that. I've been using speakup since the 0.09 days, and haven't noticed any less bootup, or shutdown messages than before. I will admit though that I don't follow bootup and shutdown messages from start to finish, unless I have a specific reason to do so. As far as I know, having speakup and my synth driver built into the kernel, still gives me speech from what sounds like early on in the boot process, until the machine powers off, just like it always used to, or so it has seemed to me up until now. So, what have I overlooked, and am not aware of?
