Does anyone on this list know what command to run in gentoo after booting is finished to bring up espeak and have espeak read all of what comes up on the screen? I'm using speakup.synth=soft after the speakup command and all it says is speakup.synth=soft. I can't catch the boot: prompt so need to start this up after booting is finished. Apparently this is an openrc system though stage3 disks can put other process managers like systemd on at user option. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
