Hello I have been attempting to find a way to keep my laptop from speaking the boot messages, on a new Debian Squeeze install. The screen quickly switches to GDM, so speakup goes on speaking boot messages unless you switch back and silence it, or catch it before the switch to the gnome console. I thought I could use the quiet boot parameter as has been done in the past. However, adding it to the line in the modprobe.d file for local configurations, does not seem effective. In addition, it is not listed as a boot parameter in the version of the manual which comes with speakup-doc under Debian, which makes me think that the parameter has been dropped for some reason when I wasn't paying attention. Is there some other way to do this now, or was it thought to be useless functionality? Or am I just doing it wrong? Luke
